Key points

• Ajax: Abdellah Ouazane, the revelation of youth.
• Abdellah Ouazane, young Ajax hopeful, quickly stood out during his first official appearances.
• From droomweek van Ajax-talent Ouazane: 'Nu gaat het pas echt beginnen'.

Ajax Amsterdam started the 2024-2025 season on a promising basis, in particular thanks to the audacity of its young players. After a great away victory on the pitch of FK Vojvodina during the preliminary round of the Conference League (1-4), Míchel's men offered themselves new satisfaction by dominating Burnley (2-1) in a friendly match this Sunday. More than the victories, it was the rejuvenated face of the team which left its mark, carried by two jewels of the training center: Mohamed Abdalla (16 years old) and Abdellah Ouazane (17 years old), both decisive at the end of the match.

For Abdellah Ouazane, the story takes on the air of a fairy tale. The young midfielder, who had already tasted several call-ups with the first team, experienced his baptism of fire in the legendary Johan Cruijff Arena against Burnley. From his first steps on the pitch, he says he felt the pressure of the public, while dribbling applauded by all the spectators. “From my first ball, I realized the special emotion of playing here,” he said after the match.

Encouraged by his teammates and in particular Jorthy Mokio, Ouazane quickly found his bearings. Despite the excitement and the weight of the event, the young prodigy was able to make his technique and his nerve speak. “Once the euphoria wore off, I simply played my football and followed the instructions,” he humbly confides.

The Amsterdam staff are resolutely banking on this new generation, which aims to establish itself sustainably at the highest level. The performances of Abdella Ouazane and Mohamed Abdalla illustrate the club's policy: integrating young talented players into the first team in order to build the Ajax of tomorrow, as competitive on the national and European scene.

This good start to the season, between European ambition and exhibition of the know-how of the training center, bodes well for an exciting future for the Batavian club. For Ouazane, this is only the beginning of a long climb. “The hardest part begins now,” he insists, aware that the road to confirmation is still long. But with such talent and maturity, all hopes seem possible.

The rest

With promising performances, Abdellah Ouazane and Mohamed Abdalla are expected to continue to play key roles in Ajax's upcoming matches, including Conference League encounters. The coaching staff could consider giving them more playing time to build their confidence and experience. Ajax hopes that this dynamic youth can contribute to a successful run in European competition and a successful season in general.
