The head coach saw an underperforming Ajax in Enschede. "From the start, things were very bad from our side. We played the same way the field was. We made a lot of personal mistakes. We have to decide to play the ball to Kudus, Brobbey of Tadic more quickly. They can maintain ball possession. We made the 0-1, but a lot of mistakes were made ahead of the 1-1."
Strong FC Twente
Despite Heitinga’s disappointment, he had compliments for the team from Enschede. "We played against a strong FC Twente. They have not been beaten at home this season for a reason."
While Ajax lost, it saw PSV winning against AZ in Alkmaar. This means Ajax remains in third place. "PSV did its sportive duty", Heitinga acknowledged. "It could have ended worse, but the ‘what ifs’ won’t help up.
Lastly, the head coach touched upon his future, even though he could not bring much news. "I think there will be more clarity this week", Heitinga concluded.
