Ajax beat Venlo: 0-13!

Join Zumosol's cousin, Mr. T, Terminator and Bayern who beat Barcelona in the Champions League and you will not get a bully as huge as Ajax against VVV-Venlo. What happened this Saturday in the Dutch Eredivisie does not attend to logic or tactics. For Venlo, everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. For Ajax everything that could go well, went better. Ten Hag's team thrashed (if that verb responds to what happened at the Seacon Stadion) 0-13 to the Limburgish team in a match that will go down in the history of Dutch football, where nothing similar has been experienced since PSV thrashed 10-0 at Feyenoord in 2010.

And it is worth that from minute 54 of the game Venlo played with one less player. Parenthesis: De Jong would have been proud of the entrance through which his compatriot Kum saw the red. But still the excuses fall short. At that point the match was already 0-4 thanks to a double from Traoré and goals from Ekkelekamp and Tadic. From that moment, everything that reached the VVV area ended at the back of the goal. Traoré ended up doing a particular little hand, and the party was joined by Huntelaar, who did a double, Lisandro Martínez, Blind, Anthony and Ekkelekamp again.

The funny thing is that Ajax did not take much less a team that looked like their eleven of gala. Of the game that the ajaccied played against Liverpool last Wednesday in the Champions League, only 6 players repeated. Few times in the history of elite football has something similar been seen. We will see if this victory gives wings to Ten Hag's team for the Champions League, which started on the wrong foot in a group in which, in addition to Liverpool, there is also Atalanta, the highest-scoring team in the major leagues last season. The meeting between the Italians and the Dutch points to a huge goal party.
