If it is up to Davy Klaassen, a possible Ajax championship party will be celebrated on the Museumplein. “I care, but it is not up to me to arrange that, it is up to us to arrange that we become champions.”
After a number of difficult duels Ajax won again simply. In the Johan Cruijff ArenA, PEC Zwolle was defeated 3-0. Goals came from Davy Klaassen (2) and Dusan Tadic.
Ajax coach Ten Hag about the match: “PEC’s way of playing requires players who are able to hold the ball well, can play well under pressure and who have a lot of walking ability and dynamics. That is why I chose fit players and, among others, Youri Regeer, Kudus and Taylor. They are all ball-resistant and can bring a lot of running power to the field.”
With three games to go, Ajax still has a four-point lead over PSV. The championship party is getting closer and closer, Klaassen also knows. “I do care where it is celebrated, but it is not up to me to arrange that, it is up to us to arrange that we become champions. Everyone wants the Museumplein. It will be a party, wherever. need to win a few more games first.”
AZ
He does not want to say how Ten Hag will let his team play in the coming game. The same system as Saturday night is not a given. “I’m not such an autist. We have to look from game to game. I hope that we will have Berghuis and Mazraoui again next week. Then we will look at AZ and what the best plan is.”
The good game of basic player Taylor does not surprise Klaassen. “I spend quite a bit of time with him. He is not a shy boy, but that is precisely why I think he is a real Ajax player. What he certainly shows in the last two matches, he has been showing in training all year. “
The midfielder also looked back on his two goals. “I don’t care how I score. My second goal was nicer, but they both count the same. Ideally you want to score them all from the halfway line, but of course that’s not possible. I really don’t care, not even who scores. As long as we win.”
Next Sunday Ajax will play against AZ (away), on May 11 against Heerenveen (home) and during the last round – on May 15 – the team from Amsterdam will visit Vitesse in Arnhem.
