Marc ter Stegen, Ajax's 34-year-old goalkeeper, has spoken out about the team's loss to Excelsior. In an interview with ESPN, he expressed his disappointment with the team's performance, saying, "Everyone has seen the match and I think we deserved more." He specifically mentioned that Ajax should have scored the second goal in the first half. Ter Stegen also acknowledged that Excelsior had the quality to score, but ultimately, it was down to Ajax's performance. "It can happen that a rebound occurs," he said, "but we had many chances and ultimately conceded two goals against them." Despite the loss, Ter Stegen is looking forward to returning to action for his national team, Die Mannschaft, next week.
