1971 - 1973 |
In 1969-70 Ajax won the Dutch league championship, winning 27 out
of 34 games and scoring 100 goals. Feyenoord remained in contention
throughout the season, but they had to settle for second place. Both
clubs won a trophy however, with Ajax winning the Eredivisie title
while Feyenoord captured the European Cup.
1971 became the long awaited year of glory, with Ajax winning trophies
at both domestic and European level. Ajax defeated 17 Nëntori,
FC Basel, Celtic and Atlético Madrid en route to the 1971 European
Cup final played at Wembley on June 2. There, 83,000 spectators witnessed
a 2-0 victory over Panathinaikos, with goals from Dick van Dijk and
Arie Haan. Captain Vasovic could finally lift the European Cup, having
lost two previous finals in 1966 with FK Partizan and again in 1969.
In 1972, Ajax established itself as the foremost club in European
football. Stefan Kovacs replaced coach Michels in 1971, while Rijnders
and Vasovic' departed in the same year. Van Dijk's departed in 1972.
Such changes in the side and management did not disrupt the success
of the club, with Ajax completing the treble of European Cup, Dutch
National Championship and the KNVB Cup in 1972 to which was added
the Intercontinental Cup.
In 1973, Ajax won a third consecutive European Cup and another Dutch
championship; however, failure in the KNVB Cup meant Ajax missed out
on a second consecutive treble. The departure of Johan Cruyff for
FC Barcelona in 1973 signalled the end of the period of success,
effectively ending the reign of the so called 'Twelve Apostles'
(The usual line-up Heinz Stuy, Wim Suurbier, Barry Hulshoff, Horst
Blankenburg, Ruud Krol, Arie Haan, Johan Neeskens, Gerrie Mühren,
Sjaak Swart, Johan Cruyff, Piet Keizer plus the usual twelfth man
who was Ruud Suurendonk until 1972 and then Johnny Rep).
Whereas clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Internazionale, Arsenal,
Juventus and Independiente were beaten by Ajax between 1971 and
1973, failure in the European Cup at the hands of CSKA Sofia in
late 1973 signalled the decline of Ajax in European football.
Nevertheless, the Total Football that they had propagated became
a lasting memory for many football fans, contributing to the Dutch
national team reaching the final of the 1974 FIFA World Cup using
similar tactics. The decline of Ajax and the loss to the Germans
in the World Cup final saw the end of the Total Football era. |
