De Jong: Ajax Still Have 'Big Chance' Of Advancing Past Juventus
After Ajax and Juventus played to a 1-1 Champions League draw on Wednesday, Frenkie de Jong talked up the Dutch club's chances of advancing.
Barcelona-bound star Frenkie de Jong produced another impressive UEFA Champions League performance for Ajax on Wednesday and the 21-year-old midfielder believes the Dutch giants can progress to the semi-finals.
"We're disappointed about conceding a goal right before half-time, but in the second half we began very strongly with our equaliser. In the end 1-1 is not so bad," De Jong told UEFA.com. "I think we have enough of a chance in the away game.
"It's a pity that Nico [Tagliafico] is suspended [for the return match], but we have very good players on the bench who can do it over there. If we play the way we did in Madrid, with a lot of courage, then we have a big chance of winning. We've done well so far in the Champions League, and we're not done yet."
