The away game against FC Augsburg ended in a 3-1 defeat Saturday afternoon. Brian Brobbey equalized from the spot after half-time, but in the end the Germans were just too much for Maurice Steijn's team.
Friday was the last day in Herzogenaurach. The squad has now departed for Augsburg for the friendly match against the local FC on Saturday afternoon. Friday was dedicated to a group training session and the media day.
The training camp in Germany is almost over. About time to catch up with Ajax coach Maurice Steijn. The 49-year-old manager explains what they have worked on at the World of Sports adidas campus. “We want to pressure as much as possible, with a lot of intensity and dynamic. That’s why we trained a lot and hard.”
A prime opportunity to find out more about Brian Brobbey and Annass Salah-Eddine took place this week. You were given the opportunity to submit questions that might be asked during the Q&A with the Ajax players. Who was or is their idol? Do they have rituals surrounding matches? And which player would they like to see come to Ajax?
