AZ can make a decisive blow in away match against FC Vaduz

It is clear that the defeats against Apollon Limassol (1-0), Feyenoord (1-3) and especially Excelsior (2-1) have arrived. Jordy Clasie was clear at tonight’s press conference in Liechtenstein. Only if the team gives the full hundred percent, there is a chance of success.

“As a team we have to turn this around. Every game is an ideal game for that. We should not look too much at the opponent in that. I have every confidence that everyone realizes that we have to do that quickly.”

It has not yet been forgotten that it did not go smoothly in the first match against FC Vaduz. Clasie: “We have reviewed the images and of course there are opportunities, but this is not going to be easy.” According to trainer Pascal Jansen, the Liechtensteiners created (too) much danger in the counter. Nevertheless, AZ won 4-1 in Alkmaar. “We decided in the final phase, something that is also necessary.”

Of course, Jansen is still holding the cards against the chest with regard to the line-up. It is obvious that Maxim Dekker, who was replaced early against Excelsior, will return to the base, while Yukinari Sugawara will probably again be preferred over Myron van Brederode.
