Ajax and PSV form the main part of this AD Voetbalpodcast. Etienne Verhoeff discusses the latest developments surrounding the departure of Marc Overmars and what was going on internally with Ajax follower Johan Inan. But they also go through PSV. That won with a new goalkeeper on goal in the TOTO KNVB Cup.
After two defeats in the competition against Ajax and AZ, PSV won again. In the cup, NAC Breda was defeated (4-0). In advance there was already discussion about the position of the keeper. Would Schmidt leave goalkeeper Mvogo, despite his mistake against AZ, or was Drommel the first man again? It became: Dumble. ,,I can’t follow Schmidt very well”, says Inan. ,,If players make repeated mistakes after you’ve given them confidence, you’re going to switch. But if you then give a player a chance, you give the newcomer several matches of confidence. I don’t think it makes sense to choose Mvogo and to victimize it again after a duel.”

Ajax has been shaking to its foundations in recent days. The inappropriate behavior of former technical director Marc Overmars is causing quite a stir in Dutch professional football. Although it will take a long time before the stories came out. ,,The women are in the minority in a football organization and this also concerns a board member. Then there may be fear of losing your job. I was especially shocked by the dick pics† Overmars has gone far, far too far. This was already going on before corona. The women at the club already called him the ‘dirty uncle’ or ‘horny cousin’. And the women we spoke to said that the club management must have known. It’s been pointed out several times.”
A press release was sent by Ajax on Sunday evening. And then it was quiet again from the management of the club. The first Ajax employee to speak to the press tonight is Erik ten Hag. Before the match against Vitesse. ,,Ten Hag is used to having to take the hot chestnuts out of the fire. I think the general manager should be there and show leadership in cases like this. He must address the troops. This case is bigger than football. With Promes, we didn’t see him when a player was arrested for a stabbing incident. After the training camp in Portugal in which four infected players were returned by private flight – against the rules – he was nowhere to be seen.”
We’ll see tonight if that will happen. And of course also discuss tomorrow in a new AD Voetbalpodcast. You listen to the AD Voetbalpodcast every working day via AD.nl, the AD app and via your favorite postcast player.
