Heatinga: We will do our best to prevent Inter Milan from winning, we must be careful of Dumfries insertion

At 3 a.m. on September 18, in the first round of the Champions League, Ajax will face Inter Milan at home. Ajax coach Heatinga attended the pre-match press conference.

What do you think of this game?

Inter Milan is the strongest team we will face in the Champions League. We must give our all, in any way. Our tactical philosophy is to organize the offense from the backcourt, but it may also require some new attempts.

Inter Milan captain Lautaro is in poor health and missed pre-match training. Will it be more beneficial to Ajax if he cannot play in this game?

Lautaro cannot play? Are you sure? This is news for me, you guys tell me more information... Lautaro is a player who can change the game, but the players who replace him can also play well, Inter Milan has many excellent players. And we will lack Boguys in this game, and he is not in good health and cannot participate in the game.

Ajax player Klasson has played for Inter Milan. Will you ask him for some advice?

Clarson put in a lot of effort to return to Ajax and has been helping us. What’s important is that we need to handle one-on-one situations well, not give the opponent a chance to cross, and close offensive space.

Dorbery or Wehest, who will start in tomorrow's game?

I can also let them start at the front line at the same time.

Ajax is not favored in this game

, indeed, but we will do everything we can to prevent Inter Milan from winning. They are at the top level in Europe and we have to do our best. We have analyzed Inter Milan's game against a four-back team, and I hope the team can reproduce the performance in the first half of the last game while reducing turnovers.

But Inter Milan lost to Juventus in the last round of Serie A...

This has no effect. Inter Milan knows its abilities and they are very familiar with each other, which is the most important thing.

Dumfries is very threatening in the offense

We expect him to plug in frequently, so we have to be very careful. This is something that is possible.
