Liverpool coach Rodolfo Borrell has great respect for NextGen semifinal opponents Ajax.

The Dutch outfit, who have a great reputation for producing talented players, beat Barcelona 3-0 in Spain to reach the last four.

"I know a lot about Ajax as they have a magnificent academy which they've had for many years and they play and train the same way with the same idea," Borrell told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"They have players who are technically very good with quick speed of thought and it's going to be a really good experience to play against them.

"It's a great chance for the lads to play at Anfield once again and it will be a massive occasion for Ajax to play at our ground.

"Whatever happens we are in the semi-finals of a very tough competition and we will do all that we can to try and beat them on the night.

"Ajax beat Barcelona, one of the favourites for this competition, 3-0, so that shows you their quality. It's going to be a great experience and I welcome this opportunity for the lads."
