Owen Wijndal, a 22-year-old defender, started in the Ajax team that faced his former club AZ. Wijndal has a good relationship with AZ's head coach Leeroy Echteld, who was his trainer in the under 16 team (F3, F4). The two have maintained a good bond since then. Wijndal also played with Calvin Stengs at AZ (F5). Before the game, Stengs said he would hurt Wijndal, which has left the Ajax player amused (F6). Wijndal plans to speak with Stengs after the game, as he believes Stengs will apologize for his comment (F7, F8).
