The Amsterdammers had a blameworthy performance, with Ajax-rechtsback Ryan van de Pavert describing the match as 'a kutavond' (a terrible evening). Trainer Carlos Garcia was equally critical, stating that the team's performance was 'schandalig' (scandalous) and that they were their own biggest enemy on that day. Garcia also revealed that harsh words were exchanged in the dressing room, with him telling the players to look to themselves for improvement rather than blaming others.
The match was a disappointing one for Jong Ajax, who failed to deliver from the start. Van de Pavert stated that the team was 'gewoon niet goed genoeg' (simply not good enough) and that it was 'gewoon slecht' (simply bad). Garcia's reaction was equally blunt, saying that no one deserved to wear the Ajax shirt on that day.
The team will look to bounce back from this heavy defeat, but for now, the focus is on improving their performance and mentality.
