In this round of the Eredivisie, Ajax suffered a surprising loss to newly promoted Breda, drawing a lot of criticism.
Ajax coach Maurizio Sarri said in a post-match interview: “I still stand by my choices. We are not yet at the level where we can play three games a week. Eight players were unable to do it, and it is my responsibility to play them consecutively. I want to reiterate that after a tough season, we have to rebuild here. We are still far from perfect, but we are doing our best.”
When asked by reporters whether Ajax had still not produced the kind of football that would satisfy fans, Sarri became irritated: “Well, tell me what Ajax football is supposed to be? No attack? We penetrated the opponent’s box over 40 times. It’s true, Ajax shouldn’t have lost, but not every player is fit enough for three games a week.”
