Champions League again in his second day of the group stage and does it with a duel between two teams that have signed his name with golden letters in the history of this competition: Real Madrid and Ajax (Tuesday, 20.45, BBC1). The Dutch team is not one who dazzled Europe with Johan Cruyff's hand or the same as that recovered the scepter with Van Gaal as manager, but has returned to conquer the throne of the Dutch league and is one of the best Ajax we have seen from the time of the Davids, Seedorf and company. Frank De Boer has brought together a team that practices attractive and offensive football where the whole is the protagonist, but if you look at his players one by one, the Dane Eriksen rises above the rest thanks to a rare technical quality.
Christian Eriksen's career has been marked by urgency. With three years and kicking a ball and fifteen years later would become the youngest player to play the World Cup in South Africa, twice coming off the bench. Now, at 19, and Ajax is fixed and the selection of Denmark. Ajacied came to the quarry in 2008 from Odense, where youth dazzled and attracted the attention of teams like Barcelona or Chelsea. But it was the Amsterdam club, always attentive to the emergence of new talent, who got the upper hand after paying a million euros by its tab.
As usual in these cases arise soon comparisons, and Eriksen and is known as the new Laudrup, the best player in the history of Danish football. They play the same position and play a similar role, but are not identical players. However, Christian is able, to continue their progression and to occupy the place that had the former Real Madrid and Barcelona in soccer in their country. Without the great final ball of the mythical ten, Eriksen has great technical ability, good driving career, privileged vision and a great shot from outside the area. Right, vertical and fast, letting a few meters is an invitation to danger. On the contrary, its low fitness is one of the main handicaps, which can take its toll in a major tournament of the Champions League.
In the 4-3-3 that professes De Boer, very similar to the scheme of Barcelona Guardiola, Eriksen is a perfect fit for the position of midfielder with a clear offensive. With the eight to the back, the Dutch football often paraded by the boots of the young talent of Middelfart. There have been slow to emerge rumors about his future, and Milan or Arsenal and sounded tight as possible suitors, even talking about a possible bid Rossoneri. Following the interest gunner also raised comparisons with the former captain of the Gunners, Cesc Fabregas. Manchester City, Barcelona if they were few in the post-Real Madrid and Liverpool have also been included in the list. However, Eriksen has expressed his desire to continue growing at Ajax.
Not alone in its goal to storm the stadium, as players like Siem de Jong, Icelandic Kolbeinn Sigthorsson-five goals in seven matches in the Eredivisie, or Sulejmani bear the burden of risk by the talented Dutch Nordic. Back, Ajax defends the excellent Belgian central couple formed by Vertonghen and Alderweireld, in addition to Van der Wiel right side. While in Amsterdam have few options to retain their talents, in the last year have sold players such as Luis Suarez, Stekelenburg, Emanuelson and Ajax De Zeeuw, currently has a competitive team and quality, but inexperienced. The Bernabeu is a great opportunity to Eriksen and his colleagues to start writing big nights on the road map of their careers.
