Pantelis Hatzidiakos played a very solid match. The AZ defender, together with his colleagues in the back, gave nothing away and saw his teammates score twice against Santa Coloma in the front. “I’m glad we’re through, although I always find these kinds of competitions a bit annoying.”

“Everyone thinks you should win 7-0,” said Pantelis Hatzidiakos in the mixed zone after the 2-0 win over the club from Andorra. “That is the expectation of the outside world, I myself think that only the profit counts whether you do it nicely or ugly.”
Van Bommel
AZ played well without much spectacle. A match that does not stick with the Alkmaar supporters for very long. Although Ruben van Bommel’s goal was beautiful. The young attacker made it 1-0 with a subtle arc just before the break. Trainer Pascal Jansen is also very pleased with the technician who came over from MVV last summer. “Very nice to see.”
