Thanks to a 2-0 victory over AZ, Ajax reached the final of the KNVB Cup for the third time in four years. According to Ajax coach Erik ten Hag, there was nothing to argue with on the victory of his team. “Nothing was given away. A well deserved victory for Ajax.”
After the 2-1 defeat in the competition against Go Ahead Eagles the question was how Ajax would recover from that soap. According to Ten Hag, it is logical that a team has a dip during a season. The coach of the team from Amsterdam was therefore very happy with the reaction that his team showed against AZ.
Recovered from corona
Ryan Gravenberch started at Ajax in the base. The midfielder was unable to play for a long time due to a corona infection and therefore lost his base place in the Ten Hag team. For Gravenberch it was a bit of a challenge to sit on the couch more often than he would have liked.
