Ajax prepare for a friendly for the sixth time this pre-season campaign by hosting Shakhtar Donetsk at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Tuesday, 26 July 2022, kick-off at 19:00 BST.
After being left by Erik ten Hag who is now coaching Manchester United, the Ajax squad seems to be still trying to adjust to the new coach, Alfred Schreuder. This can be seen from the various results achieved in the last five friendly matches.
Three wins were won against Meppen (3-0), Lokomotiva Zagreb (3-0), and Salzburg (3-2). Interestingly, apart from a 1-1 draw with Eupen, the only negative record recorded by the Eredivisie champions occurred against a second tier Bundesliga club, Paderborn, with a 2-5 defeat.
The match against Shakhtar Donetsk marks the end of Ajax’s pre-season campaign this year. After that, Dusan Tadic and his colleagues will be preparing to enter the new season through the struggle for the Johan Cruijff Shield trophy against PSV at the end of July.
On the other hand, Shakhtar Donetsk has not been able to confirm when domestic league matches will resume. In fact, the Ukrainian club are currently leading the Ukrainian Premier League standings with a two-point advantage over their closest rivals, Dynamo Kyiv, before the league match was suspended due to an unfavorable situation.
In order to maintain the fitness of his team, Shakhtar began playing friendlies since the beginning of 2022. However, the uncertainty of the timing of the resumption of league matches made a number of players decide to leave the club, including the Italian coach, Roberto De Zerbi.
