Ajax Women much too late at photo opportunity: captain Sherida Spitse photoshopped

The women of Ajax were missing from the team photo this afternoon. Because of a lunch and meeting, the Amsterdammers arrived 45 minutes late in the Zeisterbossen. Spitse then went into the photo alone and will later be digitally incorporated into the photo.

The Ajax women’s team has started the season unhappily. Yesterday they lost the battle for the Supercup with 3-2 against FC Twente. As a result, the first prize of the season went to the team from Enschede. “It was not the best game from either side. We have to learn to get more control over a game,” says Sherida Spitse. “We have now analyzed everything and we know what needs to be improved.” Spitse thinks that her team can back up during the season, but does not want to express a goal yet.

Women’s football has a busy period ahead of it. In the past week there was practiced by the Orange Lionesses against Scotland and was there the decisive World Cup qualifier against Iceland. The Eredivisie starts next weekend and after the competition the World Cup is just around the corner. Spitse is not worried about her fitness for the time being and is looking forward to the coming season.
