“After three games without a win, this was an important win,” Francesco Farioli told the football journalists present in the press room. In recent weeks, Ajax drew against FC Utrecht (2-2) and the team from Amsterdam lost when they visited AZ (2-1) and at home against Lazio Roma (1-3). “In addition, this victory gives us second place and a few players have been able to play minutes again.”
Owen Wijndal
One of the players the Italian coach is referring to is Owen Wijndal. The left back from Zaandam was allowed to start in the starting line-up for the second time this season. “His defensive effort was good and he played very energetically. He played an important role in the opening goal.”
