Needing goals, Ajax hopes to take advantage of Sergio Ramos' absence when it faces Real Madrid in the second leg of the round of 16 in the Champions League.
Ramos, the Real Madrid captain, is suspended from Tuesday's match because of an accumulation of yellow cards.
"Ramos is Madrid's boss on the field and in the backline," Ajax coach Erik ten Hag said on Monday through a translator.
"His absence clearly is a loss tactically, but also mentally. It's a loss that will clearly be felt by Real Madrid. It obviously won't be as good as a team as if it had Ramos on the field."
"Our goal is always the same: To score goals," Ten Hag said. "This is Ajax. We don't care about which opponent we are playing against."
