AMSTERDAM Last summer, seven of Ajax's brightest stars were summoned to a room at the Dutch club's training facility. Edwin van der Sar, the goalkeeper-turned-chief executive, and Marc Overmars, later than a jet-heeled winger and now the Ajax sporting director, had a video to doing them.Its premise was simple. Each player was paired later than an iconic figure from Ajax's illustrious history, one who shared a position, a nationality or (in one case) a bloodline:

• Goalkeeper Andre Onana had van der Sar.
• Forward Kasper Dolberg got Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
• Justin Kluivert was juxtaposed later than his father, Patrick.
• Frenkie de Jong had Christian Eriksen.
• Matthijs de Ligt was compared to Barry Hulshoff, a defender from the all-conquering 1970s team.

The idea, van der Sar said, was to "show them how to become a legend at Ajax, and in Holland". The film was designed to convince the club's crown jewels, to resist the temptation to touch to England, Spain or Italy for other year or so, to "stay later than each other, to win prizes and trophies here and after that make the next step".The tactic worked. Six of them should feature later than they host real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday. De Ligt will marshal the defence. De Jong will orchestrate the attacks.Only one will be absent: Kluivert resisted the emotional overture to follow in his father's footsteps. He refused to extend his union and was sold to Roma. At Ajax, they understand why he made that decision - the allure, for a pubertal later than a renowned name, of forging his own path. But, later than they hint Kluivert now, it is later than a relish of regret, a tinge of frustration. Not because he left, but because he left consequently soon."If a player goes after just half a year in the first team, later than Kluivert, we are disappointed," said Said Ouaali, director of De Toekomst, Ajax's famed teens academy.

THE AJAX WAYWe focus always on the individual. We don't think just about age groups, later than the Dutch federation or later than further clubs.SAID OUAALI, director of De Toekomst, the Ajax academy.

Last month, Ajax made other video. This time, it was for public consumption, posted on the club's social media channels. It was a little more than a minute long, but it showcased all of what Erik ten Hag, Ajax's manager, called de Jong's "special qualities". It was titled Frenkie Futuro and was released to celebrate the confirmation of the 21-year-old's touch to Barcelona, set to be completed this summer.De Jong is the bright fresh of the team, a player consequently promising that he has, more than once, been compared to Johan Cruyff himself.Yet there was no regret at his departure. "Barcelona, enjoy the future, later than we do," Ajax wrote on their attributed Twitter account.Ten Hag might allow himself to admiration a little, he said, at what could happen if "I could keep them for two or three years", into their prime but that is it."I will be proud," he said. "The scouts who found them will be proud. Marc Overmars will be proud. Everyone will be."This is what Ajax have always done. previously Cruyff himself left for Barcelona in 1973, they have churned out a stream of skill for others to enjoy: Johan Neeskens, Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard, Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids, the elder Kluivert, Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart, Eriksen, Ibrahimovic, Jan Vertonghen, Luis Suarez.The formula that has allowed it to reach consequently hangs on the wall in ten Hag's office, opposite a series of black-and-white portraits of Rinus Michels, the mastermind of the good team of the 1970s; Cruyff, their star; and Louis van Gaal, the man who restored Ajax to the European top in the 1990s, later than an almost very home-grown team.Ten Hag laughs later than he looks at that wall - "They set you a standard," he said, blowing out his cheeks. But he is omnipresent later than he discusses the Ajacied, a annoyed in the midst of a mission statement and a creed for the club.These are the traits the club try to instil in all player who wears their jersey, or who passes through De Toekomst, as with ease as their coaches and staff. There are 11 of them; this creature Ajax, they are set out in a 4-3-3 formation. They range from taking responsibility and initiative to surviving disciplined and having fun.The contact understandably works. But that is not to say it has not been adapted, altered, fine-tuned beyond the years. That process started in 2011 later than Cruyff returned to a club that, in van der Sar's words, "did not quality later than Ajax any more".Cruyff and the cadre of former players he brought later than him wanted not solitary to modernize the focus on teens development, to shed very paid, ageing players, but then to alter the exaggeration Ajax worked.The club recognised, too, they had to doing faster. Players were no longer staying in the Eredivisie until they were 23 or 24; they were leaving at 20 or 21, if not earlier.Their second team - Jong Ajax - who doing in the second tier, no longer would be filled later than senior players; now, most of their members are still in their pubertal years."We had to zeal up the process," ten Hag said. "They had to be good quicker."De Jong and de Ligt might not have won a trophy but, by carrying Ajax to a meeting later than real in the last 16 of the Champions League, they have "given something back", as van der Sar put it.When they - and possibly further members of the seven - leave Amsterdam Arena, they will go later than the best wishes of the club, and after that the total system will start again.That, after all, is Ajax's real gift: their completion not to fabricate one player, or one generation of them, but to keep on going. It is what makes players' leaving not solitary desirable but necessary."We have to manage to pay for the passageway to the next one," van der Sar said."If players stay too long, the next one cannot play. The total business chokes."NYTIMES
