On Sunday afternoon, Ajax won their fourth official game since the restart after the winter break. They beat Heracles Almelo 3-0 at the Johan Cruyff ArenA, thanks in part to a goal from Kenneth Taylor. It was the midfielder's first goal for Ajax in the Eredivisie.
Erik ten Hag made it clear that Heracles didn't stand a chance against his team at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. Ajax were 3-0 winners, although the score could have been higher. "That is the only thing I can blame my team for: that we should have scored more," said the trainer.
Ajax have won their first Eredivisie home match of 2022. Erik ten Hag's team was far too strong for Heracles, with the final score 3-0. Thanks to the victory at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, Ajax is now five points clear of second-placed PSV in the league.
The transfer deadline has come and gone. Things remained relatively quiet at Ajax, but Director of Football Affairs Marc Overmars does see a discouraging trend. “The transfer market is getting crazier. Actually, maybe they should shorten the winter transfer window. Then everyone would have to move on and you can't keep taking players away from each other. That would give some peace of mind. It was quiet for us. I often say: If you still have to sort things in the last few days, that's not a good sign."
