The winter break is almost over for AZ. The Alkmaarders will resume the competition against Fortuna Sittard tomorrow. AZ is now in a respectable fifth place, but that was different a few months ago. Then the AZ men dangled somewhere halfway down the right-hand row.

right row
Max Huiberts did not go along with the emotion of the ranking in the first half of the season. The director of football affairs mainly tries to analyze how AZ plays. Still, the media and fans judge the Alkmaar club mainly on its performance, which were not good for a long time in the first half of the season. At one point, AZ was even thirteenth and that generated a lot of criticism.

bridging year
In the month of December, AZ recovered very well and Jansen’s team won seven games in a row. As a result, the Alkmaarders are now in fifth place. Yet the difference with Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord is still quite large. For example, the team from Rotterdam occupies third place with seven points more than AZ. That has been different in other seasons. However, Huiberts does not want to speak of a bridging year, he even has difficulty with that word.
