The title race is still completely open for Ajax coach Ten Hag

Trainer Erik ten Hag emphasized after Ajax’s home win against Heracles Almelo (3-0) that the title race in the Eredivisie is far from being decided. “It’s only February,” he told ESPN’s camera. “We still have a lot of games to go.”

Ajax took advantage of PSV’s defeat against AZ (1-2) on Saturday. The leader increased the lead over the competitor from Eindhoven to 5 points. “It’s always nice to take more distance from the number 2,” said Ten Hag. “But we’re not there yet.”

Ten Hag was satisfied with his team’s game. “I enjoyed it,” he said. “The field game was excellent and we had a lot of chances, but we didn’t take advantage of them enough. The only thing I can blame my players is that it only became 3-0.”
