A very painful afternoon for John Heitinga. The Ajax coach has never lost a Classic as a player, but now he saw from the side that his team fell short. The team from Amsterdam lost 2-3 at home to Feyenoord. “We feel this home defeat.”
It could stand out in two ways, according to Ajax coach John Heitinga – NH News
“We have to blame ourselves,” says John Heitinga at the press conference after the loss against Feyenoord. “You saw that a number of players could not produce the same amount as in the first half.”
“Eight games to go”
Before the break, Ajax played excellently and the 2-1 lead halfway was justified. After the break, opponent Feyenoord dominated in the Johan Cruijff Arena. Just before the end, Lutsharel Geertruida scored the winning goal, 2-3. Ajax captain Dusan Tadic looked pretty gloomy afterwards. Behind the press table, the disappointed Serbian attacker hoped that everyone would still have faith after the international break. “We have eight games to go.”
