Two heavily modified teams will compete for the Johan Cruijff Scale tomorrow evening. Ajax and PSV will present themselves differently compared to last season. In Zeist, both teams were looking forward to the confrontation between the champion and cup winner. Trainer Alfred Schreuder chooses Jay Gorter under the bar with the team from Amsterdam.
It is striking that the Ajax coach opts for Jay Gorter between the goalposts and not for the experienced Remko Pasveer. “I don’t know who my first keeper will be yet, but I can say that Gorter will keep tomorrow night.” The young and inexperienced Gorter only kept two official matches for the team from Amsterdam.

bassey
Purchase Calvin Bassey is in the selection for the first time. The robust central defender recently came over from the Scottish Rangers FC and should make the departed Lisandro Martínez forget.
“We have a slight training delay,” says Alfred Schreurder. The new Ajax coach is referring to the corona cases in his selection. As a result, last week’s practice match against Eintracht Frankfurt was canceled. However, the team from Amsterdam convincingly won last Tuesday’s final exhibition game against Shakhtar Donetsk (3-1).
Madueke
PSV has a major setback in the run-up to Johan Cruijff Scale. Noni Madueke is seriously injured. The creative attacker has an ankle injury and is expected to miss the entire first half of the season. Madueke played an important role for the Eindhoven team last year with two hits in the won edition of the JC Scale (4-0).
