The best of De Telegraaf
‘If you stand like that and ignore the rules, it has to do with character’
AMSTERDAM – The Amsterdam bluff has brought Ajax a lot of success in the past. But if that bluff turns into misplaced arrogance or, as Erik ten Hag prefers to call it: ‘lightlessness’, a big problem arises. His team thought that with a 2-0 lead against – weakened by corona cases – RKC Waalwijk freewheel, but had to start again after fifteen minutes in the second act (2-2). Playing with fire remained in the nick of time without consequences, as Dusan Tadic made it 3-2 in the 90th minute from the penalty spot.
