Pasveer: 'The first game after the internationals break is always tricky'

Pasveer tried to guide his team in the right direction during the game. "I often have a lot to say during matches, but we lost possession too soon. That even happened to me once or twice. That's the only reason why we kept running up and down. That was the issue today."

The goalie then turned to the matter of several Ajax players being away during the break. "A lot of the lads have been off for a while. So you can't be sure about anything. Who knows, maybe their legs are tired from the matches and the travel: perhaps it's that."
