Erik ten Hag has consistently been linked with Europe’s biggest clubs after he has yet again propelled Ajax to the top of the Eredivisie, and they look like another deep run in the Champions League is on the cards as well. In this video, we speak to Marc Geschwind of EiF to run through Erik ten Hag’s career so far (his time at Bayern Munich included), as well as the inside scoop on ten Hag’s tactics at Ajax, formations and much more. Erik ten Hag will likely be Manchester United's next manager.

I am still on vacation by the way, hence why there was no UCL roundup this week. I return home on Tuesday!
Hope you have a nice vacation
Why didnt you make it there
I mean you could always shorten the analysis while talking about two Matchweeks
Please skip the Man Utd analysis on their games. They're just so bad. You can use a recording from a month ago.
@@ivinaayksinghm7548 because he is on vacation, its very smart for your mental health to dial down when you essentially need to relax
Wow, really impressed by the guest, he knows his stuff. What a fantastic episode!
Very interesting to listen to as well, great interview!
This guest was one of the best guests ive ever seen the guy really knows football could listen to him all day infact im subscribing right now!!!
He does but you can tell he's not Dutch. Ten Hag's biggest criticism isn't that he rotates as much. Frankly we are glad he doesn't rotate as much because last season it meant we would see players like Klaiber and Labyad been given minutes, both who played for him when he was at FC Utrecht but in the eyes of the supporters just aren't good enough to play for Ajax. Instead of players who came from the youth academy. Ten Hag is now starting to manage like Pep when he was at Barcelona. You know which players you're gonna see and only the players that are deemed good enough will get their chance. As it was with Dest, Mazroui, Gravenberch and now Timber. As for the argument of not rotating too much, all you gotta look at is PSV thisseason who have done just that. A lot of injured players, an insecure team and a team that struggles to beat the smaller teams home and away. Where as with Ajax you know like 10/11 players that will start each game and everyone knows what their place is. Just as it was the case with Barcalona's Pep
This guest gave a fantastic analysis here. He said more usefull things than what i saw & heard for a year on regular tv with so called football professors.
Watching this invite back with Ten Hag on the verge of being confirmed as the Man Utd manager, I’ve got this 😊 on my face.
As a Dutch guy I'd say: a very thorough analysis by Marc and he's right most of the time and what a relieve to have Adrian as an interviewer who actually let people speak out rather than interrupt him constantly!
Absolutely love this channel, think it’s the best footy channel out there at the moment. Even when I’m not bothered about the team or player that much I still watch because it’s always super informative and just easy to enjoy. :)
Very true.
Same. Doesn't matter what team or league Adrian is covering... It's always interesting.
yeah agreed. give james lawrence allcott a watch too if you'd like he's brilliant (for prem)
@@matthewesalazar8160 yeah man he’s definitely one of my other favourites too atm. He and Adrian always get talking about the tactical side of the game alongside the “politics” of football and get looking at particular impactful players. Both at the top of the footy RUclips game atm.
Wayyy better than onefootball or football daily
I think the entire, really nice, discussion misses one essential point. The Ajax management.
The real strength of Ajax are CEO Edwin van der Sar and technical director Marc Overmars. Van der Sar en Overmars have ensured solid financial and technical policy. They've been daring with financial choices, transfers and have enabled Ajax' coaches to play like they want to because they can get the right players. For all the excellence on the pitch: the true strength is the solid foundation that Van der Sar and Overmars have built in Amsterdam.
Having said that; Erik ten Hag is an excellent coach. He's a little too stubborn sometimes perhaps, sticking to experiments that don't work a little too long maybe. That's his only weakness though. He's been excellent in every other way.
He is a looney who won't succeed anywhere else
True. Van der Sar is just lucky, no vision.
Nah it's not, Van de Sar is quite terrible Overmars is really good though
I think cruijf also still have something to do with today's succes. I was young in those days so i can't quite remember. But there was a whole drama around ajax i think between 2005-2010??
So from what i get from this statement Man U will be replacing a stubborn Ole to a stubborn Ten Hag
I think it’s the triangle Overmars, Ten Hag and van der Sar that does the trick for Ajax!
+ Menno van Geelen. Because of his brand building and building Ajax commercial revenue they can now affort better salaries I believe.
@@lolzorkont agreed! Menno is often overlooked, but has really helped build up the team through the increase in cash flow
Mostle the tandem Overmars - Ten Hag. VD Sar is just there for.. idk
@Rob Happe: totally agree.!! what a trio, 'Overmars, Ten Hag and VanderSar'. Also how did man utd get Van da baek so incredibly wrong..?? grouped with the right team VDB is a awesome player and far better than any united CDM
2 down 1 to go
United got their man and it's going to be very exciting as the club transforms both structurally and on the pitch
Uncanny that the guest guessed exactly what United have given him... 3 years plus one
Nice to see some love for the Eredivisie. Which over the week climbed to a virtual 6th place in Europe in the coefficients in 2 seasons. Finally surpassing Portugal.
Eredivisie is actually 7th
@@manlikelee2142 Currently yes. However if look at country ranking for 2021, loosing the disaster 17/18 season, then we just rose to 6th.
Easy there, you're gonna look like a mug if Benfica, Porto & Sporting still qualify like Ajax, although they have great competition ahead
@@Hyde_Hill I just done the calculations the Eredivisie is still 7th
Ten Hag smartest decision was becoming the Bayern Munchen II/youth coach.
Yeah exactly and even better Ten hag was under 23 coach and reserv/b Team
If he does leave Ajax this is the kind of club he should coach: Bayern, with a stable upper management and well run organization. The other clubs Ten Hag is linked with are way too unstable.
@@oldskoolmusicnostalgia he could stay at Ajax till 2024 then takeover Liverpool. LFC are very stable
I missed one big part when discussing the 2018/19 season, the players they signed. they signed Dusan Tadic to play left winger or striker, he has played 165 games since joining Ajax, and scored 82 and assisted 81 times, ridicilous numbers. But was most important because he became the leader of the team, the captain that is an example for all the new youth players. And they also got Daley Blind from Manchester United, he is also a leader of the team, and very important and center back and left back. Those experienced players where what was missing in 2018, with them we got the perfect mix of talent and experience to get to that semifinal.
Secondly, I think Marc's critic of Ten Hag not rotating is a little too harsh. Ten Hag does tend to stick to players that are out of form or just not good enought too long, he is probably too loyal to them. But more rotation would disturb the process and flow we are in, it will disturb the patterns and habits that this team has on the pitch. Our biggest rival is PSV Eindhoven, and they have a coach (Roger Smith) who does rotate players a lot. It is a disaster. Players have no real patterns and habits on the pitch, they don't really "feel" another in the field. Plus it affects their fitness most of them have trouble playing 90 minutes 3 times a week, they have a lot of injuries etc. I personally rate Ten Hag in the top 5 coaches we have ever had, with Rinus Michels, Stefan Kovacs, Johan Cruijff en Louis van Gaal. I think we will get considerably worse when he goes, don't really see a coach who has the same skills and is willing to come to Ajax. Arne Slot could have done it, but going from the ultimate rival Feyenoord to Ajax is almost impossible.
Neigelsman would have been a perfect fit as well but he already got the Bayern job. Ten Hag is the best coach out there that's not on a billionaire club already, you guys are blessed with him, reclaiming the respect that Ajax always had.
I think rotating could work well if applied correctly. Those guys are all on the payroll. It is his job to keep the subs motivated and especially hopeful otherwise they wont perform when you need them.
Neres on the bench is a waste and so is Kudus and Daramy. Its a waste of capital.
@@rafael123loek they get their minutes by substitutions. They learn from the best, and when we sell Antony and gravenberch they can take over. And when we get injuries we have good replacements. You need to have a good bench to be able to perform good an entire season.
The demolition of Dortmund at the Amsterdam ArenA was absolutely reminiscent of the peak van Gaal years in the mid 1990s, it was so controlled and meticulous. I personally liked Ronald Koeman's Ajax too though they had a very short peak, he didn't build something durable.
As for the the person talking about Neres, well he doesn't exactly make a strong case for being used more when he's given minutes. He's been at the club nearly 5 years now and mostly stagnated. Antony who arrived after him is already impressing more.
Man said mark my words loooooool
Really enjoy your collaborations, Adrian. The scout reports are my favorite. Top Journalism.
Jimmy Conrad smiles at how far you've come... and so am I !
ETH even promoted his first team (Go Ahead Eagles) on his very first season, making him successful at every club he managed
Tadic was for sure a Keyplayer for Ajax aswell. Tadic made a huge difference for me at Ajax.
Came back for that 18:15
What an impressive, detailed and insightful video, keep up the good work
Man thanks for the video , i was Just thinking about the fact that i wanted to know more about Ten Hag!!
The thing about sticking with Dolberg as a weakness it was also kind of a strength. He doesn't easily give up on players especially when he knows there is potential there, which Dolberg proved is still there at the Euro's. Plus he was his way of rotating which is more necessary in attack then defense. I would say another maybe weakness is sometimes getting players he likes for depth who are actually unnecessary, however he gets them as he worked with them before. Labyad and Klaiber at Ajax. Not that they cost much.
To be fair Ajax management weren't going to allow Ten hag to just give up on Dolberg as previously they got a 50 million euro bid for him.
The rotation criticism could be an issue
I really love your channel, keep up the good work!
It’s match 2022 and Manchester United a going all in for Ten hag and I really hope we get him 💪🏾
Those new transitions 😍😍 I love it Adrian
I swear i love this channel so much!!!
Julian Nagelsmaan and Eric Ten Hag are the two next big managerial thing. p.s.- Waiting for UCL match day review
Nagelsmanns high line is easy to beat if you have the quality.
Who do you 2 think should manage city after pep leaves?
@@havemotherwilltrade well Nagelsamaan is already managing his dream club and he is capable of winning UCL with Bayern but I am not sure about Eric Ten Hag . Depends on United's performance next season
Great talk as always.
I am an huge ajax fan and Marc explained it beautifully! Great job guys
Who's there after Ten Ten came to United?
Great podcast, love it !! :)
wow,
first time I've watched this channel and I'm surprised about the analysis of these guys especially Marc. Not only good but also rational with good critical response about the lost of the League in 2020 although he's (I assume) an Ajaxfan.
Thumbs up, but that sounds 'logical' :-)
Great video!
It is great that an Ajax fun was interviewed about Ajax. I don't see many youtubers do this type of stuff. Ask fans of the clubs to talk about their clubs instead of them always being the one talking about every league and every club.
Awesome video Adrian🔥🔥
Marc's prediction was somewhat spot on, he said ten hag won't go to Man Utd unless they really back his project and its understandable to assume that Manchester United won't go to such a length. But this really shows that Man Utd are making big changes behind the scenes, had Marc known the current project behind this Man Utd backroom clear out, he definitely would have said ten hag would be in Manchester in August 2022
Wow, this video aged well 😆. So happy he's at United now!
The change in recruitment hasn't really been highlighted in the video, which is a shame, because the addition of Tadic and Blind in the summer of 2018, and consistent dealings after that, hitting the mark far more often than not, has also really helped Ajax.
And the major player there is Overmars. His importance can't be highlighted enough too.
It's the combination of Ten Hag, Overmars and Van der Sar that has led to this (hopefully) golden era
Ajax already plays the same system for fifty years: total football: play pressure to win ball possession, frequently change positions, players being able to take over each other's position during the game. The youth get trained in that system in the academy, and external players and trainers are selected to fit in it as well (Ajax is no place for a Ronaldo). So Ten Hag did not bring or create the system, but he is an exceptionally good fit. On top of that he is very much aware of the limitations of the players and himself, and is honest and open about it. This keeps the team realistic, down to earth and on their toes.
In the same vein Ten Hag is not a good fit for many other clubs. Clubs with superstars, inflated egos in the board and too much commercial distractions can very easily become a trap for a person like Ten Hag. Further, other clubs need to play that same Ajax system (so like Barcelona, not MU). Successful players at Ajax often fail at other clubs, same can happen to the trainer.
I am an Ajax fan and I can say that everything is 100%. Correctly what you say. Ten hag needs to get the time for atleast two years to build his team. The top 8 clubs will not have that patience.
Well let see now at Manchester
200k+ subs? Watched here a few years ago, couldn't find the account anymore... luckly you got into my suggestions, subbed!
Your content is amazing !
would be interesting to see a video on the tactical philosophy of Xavi
There’s one by Xavi himself on The Coaches Voice which Adrian mentioned in his video on Koeman being sacked
Marc G is very articulate. so knowledgeable about Ajax and Erik.
Whenever I see Rabona vid, I get happy :)
weirdo
With Guardiola leaving I can see him getting approached and accepting the project Pep left, especially because of how much he respects him and how much he has earned from him
nooooo
that will be the best thing
And Ajax gets pep ? One can dream
@@TheRobbiex I think Pep is taking a break from football but imagine, that would be Cruyff’s ultimate wet dream
@@TheRobbiex pep loves ajax
United make the phone call already
This is the kind of coach we need at United rn. Not saying we should try and snatch him up right now. But someone in the same vein. Someone who understands his squad's strengths and weakness and even how to make the best of players with limited technical ability(Fred, Mctominay, AWB). Ole has been okay, but it's clear he's coaching with spirit in mind rather than actual player ability
Well we got him eventually and we are all happy today.
u have the best youtube channel man
The biggest difference this season is playing with inverted wingbacks. Both Mazraoui and Blind are capable of playing on the midfield, so as they come inside and cover the midfield in the attacking fase, Gravenberch and Berghuis can advance forward and support our attackers. In the buildup, Anthony and Mazraoui work exceptionally well together, their stats are incredible and Ajax might have the best performing right side couple in Europe at the moment.
Very good story, really enjoyed. I gotta disagree with the rotation thing tho. Ajax is a team that has great width compared to eredivisie, but what ETH wants is automatisms. You only get those with playing in the same team over and over. Yes he can use substitutions earlier in the game but he has already progressed in that a fair amount
"Marc" My Words 18:16
i remember he got FC Utrecht almost to europe but then left for ajax, i was so mad, but respect for what hes done w ajax tho.
ja man waren mooie tijden maar wat ie met Ajax laat zien is toch gofferdomme wel heel knap. En goed voor het Nederlands voetbal.
Adrian when is the Champions League review coming. I wait so eagerly for that after each matchday 🙂
I am on vacation currently.
@@RabonaTV Okay man. Take a break, you deserve it ❤️
@@RabonaTV Props to you for the content despite being on a holiday! Don't forget to take enough care of yourself :)
Ten Haag should really wait it out and stick with Ajax and try and succeed Pep at Man City he'll fit right in the team is setup for him 2 come in and succeed
His weakness is exactly what Ole is struggling with so that will not be a fix really Man U has a deep squad that needs rotation and man management
Great content. Can you do a video about Zidane and his tactical nous?
Now some idiots are asking he's axed from United🤦
I don’t know what I’d do if Erik 10 Gawd ever joins arsenal. I’ve been amazed by him for a while
I don’t think he will join us, and I hope he doesn’t. A lot of our fans can’t give a manager time. I dread to think of how his family will also be abused and under threat by our pathetic excuse of a fanbase.
@@delirioususer9668 Disagree . As long as the football is good and there is clear progress , he would be given time
Arsenal is a step back he would never go there
"He'll be here in 2022...mark my words"
Sorry Marc😭
Marc G is very knowledgeable
Will there be a weekend recap?
Erik Ten Hag: Hello from Manchester, England and welcome to the Theater of Dreams. Good luck E.T.H
Champagne football, he got that one from expressions
Watching in 2023. The critique of ETH needing to effectively rotate the team is something I think he’s done with Man U so far. After the loss to Arsenal I’d say making the right subs at the right time is still a problem he faces - great observation by Marc
Rotation also seems a little issue. There has been some easy cup games at home where he could rest main players easily
There many promising managers around...Like DeZerbi at Zenit St.Petersburg
Maybe van Der Sar could be the link up between united and ten Haag
Great video but why change the picture thingie whatever it’s called
Seems like his criticisms are the same we have for OGS, squad rotation
Speaking about squad rotation... ten Hag made a number of changes today against Go Ahead Eagles Deventer... and had to throw on his first team regulars in second half... a humbling 0-0 final result 🤣
"dutch side twent"
theres an e at the end for a reason lol
Finally someone who actually knows Ten Hag. Everyone and their mum knows Ten Hag tactically is an amazing coach. But that doesn't ensure success. As the dude said, Ten Hag is not a charismatic guy. The media isn't really kind to those characters especially when they're not successful. He doesn't speak English well so I don't know if he'd be very successful at an international club. Not even mentioning the egos he'll have to deal with, at Ajax he is above everyone in the team and everyone knows that, that's not the case at many major clubs.
He speaks Germans. That is pretty international.
Lol the last part of this video definitely didn't age well
Glad that United finally signed him
I wish Eric Ten Hag good luck, he will be the "different one " compared all those coaches Man Utd had before (After Sir Alex). yES,hopefully he will learn how to rotate his team
How this channel "only" has 200k subs is beyond me...
This Marc G-guy reminds me of a dutch saying: The best drivers always stand on the sideline
his prediction was actually quite spot on lmaoooo 😂😂😂
Famous last words from Marc
The only managers need after Pep leaving is Ten Hag and Hansi flick(German intl.coach soon) still hope
Ajax really shook up Europe that year, hoping for another go.
Respect the sht out of this channel. Gave us a Napoli video when basically no other channel or app pays attention.
As a Bayern fan, if we did not have Nagelsmann then I'd have loved to have him at Bayern
well, you had him at Bayern)))
1:00 mate there is a second E in twente
Like those glasses!
Ajax at home is on my bucket list
Perfect replacement for Klopp (whenever he leaves)....:D
It is will be interesting to see how he copes with the english press as it is not his first language, is up against some really good managers like Conte, Guardiola and Klopp and he has no experience of playing or managing in england so it might be a cultural shock (like the games during the Christmas-New Year period) .
Do a video about Ruben Amorim
Kasper Dolberg, what the hell happened man. Needs its own video tbh, guy was a talent.
Doing okay at Nice.
This is random but I'm calling it now, in 2 years Rubén Amorim is gonna have as much hype as Ten Haag does now
I will reply to this comment and hopefully come back to see if u r right
No, he isn't. Amorim is a very unidimensional manager who only knows how to play boring, defensive football. He gets by in the Portuguese League, but when the level of competition increases, he is a terrible coach.
@@ruimarques7625 Let's be honest, when the level of competition increases every Sporting player is shit! You can only coach with what you have, so being one dimensional to get the best out of your squad is actually good coaching
Ajax is doing well despite having far less money than their european competitors. If Ajax reaches the semifinal they get like four million dollars of television money. If PSG reaches the semifinal they get 90 million dollars. And thats just one year, Ajax will never be able to make the step to being financially on the same level as the big teams no matter how well they play and all is due to the uefa policies.
Ajax don't really need to make as much money as the other big teams they only need enough to keep their academy players for couple more seasons and buy few quality gems like they always do
@@manlikelee2142 Well, it is an example that the uefa favors big teams and it is hard for small teams to ever be able to compete. Ajax's success is despite the policies of uefa not because of it
Yup, the market share factor in the distribution of UEFA money is only there to keep the big clubs and top 4 leagues happy. This is all about holding back the Super League, but it is at the expense of true and fair competition.
Now best manegar in Europe
Ten hag
So Solskjær has made to protect his players and build up team moral. So with this in mind, he has done xactly what he camw to do in Manu, now I want to see how Solskjær will be doing this year in Champions League, and I believe! That said, never say never th Manu will not do that with Ten Haag, since they got team moral and team to handle the press better, which means in that sence or as long as stay so, it is perfect time for Manu to get him if they really wanted.
He is not going to man u lmao
@@dionlankhorst4606 I like his tactical mindset, and how to build up the team around the key strength of the team, so yeqh I think Manu might really want him! But also if Solskjær has really good success this year then ofc not gping to happend! That said I have no idea if he wqnts or not though
@@stisoisfnr7769 Sadly it looks like your current board is way to fucked to realise whats good and whats not for the club, only wanting Yes-men, not tactical men:/.. Sad to see with such Great club/n' history which soon will be all undone. NO offense but.. Sry to break it for yah, Ole wont't take that team anywhere no matter how much better players you've just gotten/will get too..
@Mergim Larsson you might be right, and tacticly I like Haal og what said in video is correct!
I wonder if Marc G’s still expecting him to stay?🤔🤨
Failed the last question terribly.
Who is vendebiek?
Adrian with another classic 🙏🙏🙏🔫🔫🔫
And in April 2022 he is going to be ManU coach next season
❤
All in all a good representation, but you can clearly see that there is some depth and accuracy missing. Don't want to go much into detail, but you missed the boat with the tactical analysis. The biggest difference is not that they have switched attacking from the centre to the wings. Although Alvarez is not the new Pirlo, the fullbacks (Mazraoui and Blind) are playing in the midfield in the first phase of attacking, which compensate for Alvarez lack of creativity. They have just expanded the patterns in which they can create chances. In 18/19 Ajax was known for the quick combinations in very tight spaces. The biggest difference is that this team is more balanced and experienced. There are no big superstars like De Ligt, Frenkie or Ziyech (maybe Antony), but it is more a collectively strong team.
The issue with Ten Hag is not that he does not rotates that much. If a player proves himself he will get the chance. Schuurs got swapped for Timber, Klaassen for Berghuis etc.
The main weakness of Ten Hag is his ability to change tactics during the game. The substitutions are predictable, no matter what the score is. Neres for Antony, Klaassen for Berghuis. In the beginning there were matches that he would not even substitute, even when the team was losing.
Also Kudus was injured almost all of last season, soo it was actually not possible to prepare him for the games against AS Roma. Ajax lost because the second goalkeeper (Scherpen) made a major mistake. Ten Hag isn't to blame for that. Also Ajax did not granted the Championship during the Covid season. There was no winner chosen in that season.
Ajax is magic. Shitty buying clubs like Chelsea, MC, PSG can buy our best players or coach but they never can buy our soul! Better to be a real club like Ajax then be one of the top 8 with all bought players.
@@kraanvogelpoep I don't agree that those clubs are shitty, but yeah I am proud that we can support a club with its own unique philosophy and values.
When ETH enters the knock-out phase: "I am the one who KNOCKS!"
