“Supporters who are not satisfied will express this,” Pascal Jansen responds about the critical voices in the stadium and on social media. AZ has had mixed results this season and will no longer compete on the European stage this season due to last night’s loss against Legia Warsaw (2-0). “We have a young team and that can sometimes fluctuate, but I am not worried about the capriciousness of my team.”
Joey Veerman
A very challenging job awaits AZ this weekend. In Alkmaar, Pascal Jansen’s team will take on leader PSV. The Eindhoven team won all fifteen competition matches. “There is a lot of stability at PSV, both offensively and defensively. And I find Joey Veerman very interesting, he creates by far the most chances of anyone.”

Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro is back in the goal against the Eindhoven team. The 19-year-old goalie replaces the injured Mathew Ryan and that means that former second goalkeeper Hobie Verhulst is on the bench. “That does not mean that Verhulst is the third goalkeeper. If Ryan returns, I will reassess that.”
Pavlidis
Furthermore, Jansen sincerely hopes that his top scorer Vangelis Pavlidis will stay this season. The top scorer is on the list of many other clubs and a transfer during the winter break beckons. “My advice to Pavlidis seems clear to me.”
