Jens Odgaard was the best player on behalf of AZ in the 0-3 victory over FC Emmen. The Danish attacker was constantly threatening and also responsible for the opening goal. “A nice pass from Jordy Clasie, a good assumption and well rounded.”

The 23-year-old attacker came over from the Italian US Sassuolo this summer and has made a good impression in recent games. “AZ is a big club in the competition. We have a lot of ambition to finish as high as possible this year. We are also in the group stage of the Conference League. It is great to be part of this team,” said Odgaard about his new club.
Specific qualities
His trainer Pascal Jansen is also pleased with the contribution of Odgaard, who started in the striker due to the injury of Vangelis Pavlidis against both NEC and FC Emmen. “We are happy that Jens is fit and that he is starting to adapt well. He is a good attacker with his own specific qualities. Today the coordination went very well,” said Jansen about Odgaard’s match.

Ideal football afternoon
With last Thursday’s match against NEC still under way, the 0-3 halftime score against FC Emmen was the ideal scenario for AZ. “We played very quickly to two beautiful goals. Then you immediately have control over the game. However, we still failed to score more. But in the run-up to Thursday towards the first game in the Conference League, this is fine.”
