No room at the main force for Ajax talent Kian Fitz-Jim: “Had hoped to take the step”

PEC Zwolle ended up with ten men after fifteen minutes of play, due to a red card from keeper Jasper Schendelaar. “They played very compact after that and we had no answer to that.” Tells a slightly disappointed Kian Fitz-Jim afterwards. The Amsterdammer had to leave the field just before time due to a minor groin injury.

Trainer John Heitinga also saw that his team was having trouble with the compact game of the opponent. PEC Zwolle collapsed extremely far and formed a block of nine players around its own sixteen meter area. “You have to be very patient in that.”
