Dutch Premier Division
Feyenoord – Ajax 2- 10-1 Rafael van der Vaart 1-1 Ferdinand Vierklau
2-1 Brett Emerton
Seems like our key players lack the important game trait. Another key game where the Ajax team underperform. This might have been the moment when we said goodbye to the 2001/02 championship.
Champions League Phase 2 Group DLazio – Ajax 2- 11-0 Giuliano Giannichedda 2-0 Enrico Chiesa 2-1 Richard Witschge
No points for Ajax in the away game against Lazio, but Ajax is still in the race thanks to the previous 6 points against Anderlecht.
Two pretty big upsets. C2B team Fiorentina with a mix of veterans in time decline and unpolished talents manage to eliminate Premier Division team Blackburn Rovers. Italian giants Milan was eliminated by Club Brugge in rebuilding mode.
Inter and Bayer 04 Leverkusen looks like the favorites, while Fiorentina, Club Brugge and Olympiakos are total underdogs.On paper a pretty easy group for Holland. Switzerland and Turkey are the potential rivals.
