Ten Hag impressed by Benfica: "It's the biggest difference with Ajax"

Erik ten Hag thinks Ajax and Benfica are daring. The coach is surprised that the Amsterdam team is considered a favorite for the double meeting with the Portuguese.

"It surprises me," quotes Ten Hag from Voetbal International . "We will have to prove it again in every game, we are not a favorite, we play very well and have confidence in the match against Bayern Munich (1-1), but we know that Benfica is a very strong team. I think we are equivalent, and if the odds are fifty, if we have a good day, we have a great chance of winning. "

Ten Hag thinks his team can learn something from Benfica. "It's an excellent team with a lot of routine and intelligence, the biggest difference between us is the venom that the top Portuguese has, we are also taking steps to achieve that." We have a great collection of players , but it's ultimately a question of price. "

Ten Hag recognizes that Ajax is taking a big step towards European wintering if Tuesday is won at the Johan Cruijff Arena. "We have to win at home games, but if it turns out that a draw is the maximum, you have to accept it, we are aiming for victory and if that succeeds, we are very good."
