http://www.footballnl.com/news2003_4/september/news0098.htm Ajax begin their Champions League campaign against current holders AC Milan who were fortunate to eliminate the Amsterdammers in last year's quarter-final via a last minute goal from former Feyenoord striker Jon Dahl Tomasson.However, Ajac trainer Ronald Koeman insists that this evening's confrontation is a different kettle of fish. Koeman: "At that point it was a decisive game, now it is the first of six matches. And each point is welcome AC Milan are the champions of last season. So the pressure is on them. We hope that we can surprise them. " Although Ajax will not be able to call upon Jari Litmanen, Zdenek Grygera, John Heitinga, John O'Brien and Antony Obodai who are all sidelined with injuries, Koeman will still be able to rely on the squad that saw off table-toppers RKC last weekend who were defeated 4-1 by the Amsterdammers. Koeman: "We will make some small adjustments, that's logical if you play AC Milan but the main part of the team will be those who appeared against RKC Waalwijk on Saturday." Koeman added We have no secrets," added Koeman. The players are looking forward to the games in the Champions League. And what is more beautiful than starting against the champions?" -- Aimer, Comme la nuit aime le jour Aimer, Jusqu'a en mourir d'amour --
