The Amsterdam "Ajax," having hired a strict Italian coach, seems to have made no mistake.

This weekend, another round took place in the Netherlands, bringing "Ajax" closer to an unexpected title in the "Eredivisie" championships.

Recently, "Ajax" as a club has been struggling. There have been many scandals off the pitch, but this year is different. Coach Francesco Farioli has molded the team, and, what's more, rivals are stumbling.

The Eindhoven PSV team, which started the season excellently, has significantly stagnated. In their last 6 matches, Peter Bosz's team has only one victory in the "Eredivisie" championships and is currently trailing by as much as 8 points from "Ajax."

Before the season, PSV was considered a strong favorite to defend the title. According to bookmakers' predictions, "Feyenoord" took second place, while "Ajax" was third.

Indeed, both "Feyenoord" and PSV are still continuing their performances in the Champions League, so their season in Europe is successful.

This weekend, "Ajax" defeated "Almere City" 1-0, while their main competitors faltered.
