Van der Vaart believes that Tottenham uses 'United tactics'
Rafael van der Vaart suspects that Tottenham Hotspur will apply the same tactics against Ajax as Manchester United did under coach José Mourinho in the Europa League final in 2017 (2-0 for United). "Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino is a smart man. I think he has watched the final and that he too wants to prevent Ajax from coming into play," Van der Vaart told NUsport. (1/3)

According to the 36-year-old former midfielder, who played for both Ajax and Tottenham, the Londoners are forced to do so due to the many injuries and the suspension of Son Heung-min. "Without Son and also Harry Kane, Tottenham might be a little scared of Ajax. They will mainly be long balls and they will not go along with Ajax's footballing ability." (2/3)

Partly due to the many absentee at the home club, which also misses Harry Winks, Serge Aurier, Erik Lamela and possibly Jan Vertonghen and Moussa Sissoko, Pochettino even named Ajax the favorite for the diptych. "That is special", Van der Vaart realizes. "It says a lot about the impression that Ajax has made against Real Madrid and Juventus. A few months ago it was unthinkable to call Ajax favorite. It has been done very hard, although I do not see Ajax as a clear favorite. It is fiftyfifty. " (3/3)
