Zero to momentum: Davy Klaassen on Ajax’s European surge

Captain Davy Klaassen highlighted the stark contrast between Ajax’s need to begin their European campaign from scratch and the confidence that now fuels the side after a second 4‑1 victory over FK Vojvodina in the Conference League qualifiers. He reminded supporters that “We had to start from zero”, underscoring the modest expectations that framed the early stages of the Dutch club’s continental adventure. The win against FK Vojvodina in the second qualifying round has generated clear momentum, leading Klaassen to assert that the campaign now follows an upward trajectory. His remarks signal a shift from a rebuilding mindset to genuine ambition, suggesting Ajax will aim to broaden their success in the Conference League.
