Leeroy Echteld worked for three years as an assistant for the then AZ coach John van den Brom. “He’s a nice guy,” says Leeroy Echteld after the 2-2 against FC Twente. The two former colleagues visited each other afterwards.
Echteld: “I said sorry, but on the other hand we wanted to score that equalizer.”
Goal Clasie
AZ started the match well. The Alkmaar team put pressure on the opponent with swinging combinations. That resulted in a goal in the 13th minute. Jordy Clasie shot beautifully outside the penalty area. “It’s always nice to help the team, because I don’t score that often.”
Clasie’s last goal was on February 13, 2025. Then he scored in the European home game against Galatasaray. “It’s been a while. So it’s about time.”
