UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Battle Of The Youth As Chelsea Clashes With Ajax by Sammyramires(m): 3:27pm On Oct 23, 2019
Chelsea Football Club would be in action against the Dutch giant, Ajax in Amsterdam tonight in the first of the two legs round of matches for both teams in this year’s UEFA Champions’ League Group H encounter.
Ajax leads the Group H with 6 points after two group games, while Chelsea occupies the 3rd position with 3 points. Valencia also had 3 points after two group games with an away win at Stamford Bridge to Chelsea on September 17th, 2019.

The other group H game will see LOSC Lille playing host to Valencia in a game that could determine the fate of the French side LOSC Lille in this year’s UEFA champions League.

In his Press conference, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard reacts to the statement comparing his Chelsea side to Ajax who defeated Juventus in the Quarter Finals of lasts season’s UEFA Champions League with a youthful side

“We've got a long way to go to claim the similarities but I think pride in the short term, yes. Because we shouldn't get carried away with ourselves, it's great we have a good feeling at the club, in terms of the young players that have come through.

In furtherance he says “I think it's long-deserved recognition for the academy itself and those players as well. But we are at a place here that is steeped in history of bringing young players through, creating great teams with groups of young players over the years.

Chelsea will be without Four of her players with Ross Barkley recuperating from his sustained ankle injury against Newcastle United. He said “Ross will be hopefully fit to train by Thursday. Rudiger trained with us today, he will be out of contention for the weekend against Burnley.
