Ajax-Napoli, the Dutch press: “Maradona would have appreciated”

From our correspondent Maurizio Nicita

– Amsterdam

“Naples to lick your fingers” and that “could have scored 10 goals for Ajax”. The Dutch newspapers praise the company of the Spalletti Band, which also becomes a way to heavily criticize the coach Schreuder, who is not very convincing even in his post-match statements. Napoli also enters the history of Ajax, as underlined by the daily AD: “After the biggest defeat ever at the Johan Cruijff Arena, a minimum of self-criticism was expected, and instead we are forced to listen to the same ones from Schreuder and Tadic things: namely that at the root of the crisis there are above all the many changes made to the team this summer. Yet even Napoli have changed a lot but have a completely different confidence and new ambitions. The lancers – what an embarrassment – learn their lesson ”.

So a lesson on the pitch but also at a managerial level because the excellent work of the director Cristiano Giuntoli, with the strategic assent of the president Aurelio De Laurentiis, is now evidently also to those who, like Ajax, have been a master of strategies on young people for years . AD continues: “Napoli could have scored ten goals and reached double figures given the opportunities created, Tadic and his teammates were literally humiliated and the only noteworthy answer is that seven or eight players have been changed”.

THINKING OF MARADONA

De Telegraaf writes: “Napoli’s spectacular match in Amsterdam would certainly have enchanted Maradona, while Cruijff would undoubtedly have been very upset by Ajax’s performance which was the laughing stock of Europe. The players Schreuder has sent onto the pitch have never shown the swagger that is in the DNA of the Amsterdam club. Spalletti has a finger-licking selection ”. Total football today is that of Napoli.
