APOEL coach Giorgos Donis stressed his tactic to target Ajax's weakness in their 1-1 UEFA Champions League draw on Tuesday, feeling Ajax were susceptible to direct play and instructed his side to attack them in the air during the clash in Cyprus.
The coach said: "I was sure that it would surprise him [De Boer] that we were playing long balls at times. I saw the Ajax games against FC Salzburg [in the UEFA Europa League last season] who played with long balls and the first game they [Salzburg] won 3-0 and the second 3-1.”
He added: "Even though it is not our usual style, we wanted to use long balls against them." As pointed by Agen Bola indo11.com
