Ajax - AZ Falls Short of Expectations

Ajax - AZ's match against AZ was an exciting one due to the scoreline, but according to analysts, it was not a good game. This assessment comes from Voetbal International, who have been comparing the level of Ajax - AZ to that of PSV - Feyenoord in the previous round.

The intensity of Ajax - AZ was very low, according to analyst Arnold Bruggink, who compared the two matches. "If you put this next to PSV - Feyenoord, then this is really, really far away. In terms of intensity, what modern football is all about, in terms of sprints, giving it gas... then this is nothing." Bruggink also found that the number of sprints in Ajax - AZ's match was among the lowest in the Eredivie, with PSV - Feyenoord having one of the highest numbers. This is a far cry from Ajax's intended playing style, which involves creating scoring opportunities and not just defending.
