According to VoetbalPrimeur, Perez thinks AZ has a chance at the title, despite losing points for the first time this season against Willem II. He praises the team's new approach, saying they are "getting triggered" and playing with more intensity. However, he also notes that the team's recent draw against Willem II is a setback, as they need to win many games to stay in contention.
Perez also mentions that AZ's coach Kwakman wants to reward his players for good performances, but this has led to some questionable team selections, such as not starting Stengs and Patati. The team's current position in the league has been overtaken by PSV, who won 4-1 against Sparta Rotterdam. Despite this, Perez believes AZ can still make a push for the title, but it will be a tough task.
The next step for AZ will be to bounce back from their recent draw and win their upcoming games to stay in contention for the title.
