Maurice Steijn seemed disappointed in front of the press Sunday afternoon following the 3-1 defeat at FC Twente. “I think the first half got off to a dramatic start. I had shown them clearly where Twente's strength lies, but we gave goals away too quickly and easily.”
The game plan was clear to Steijn. "The intention was that either the left or right wing should go forward and that Bergwijn or Akpom should then position themselves on the inside. Clearly, that didn't work.”
Steijn was very disappointed his team lost their games quite so easily. "That is what frustrated me the most. Obviously things might go wrong because we have new players, but there was just a lack of sharpness and I think that is very poor. Clearly this is a very bitter defeat."
Ajax again lost points in the Eredivisie Sunday afternoon. Maurice Steijn's team lost 3-1 away to FC Twente. The Tukkers went 2-0 up early in the game. Brian Brobbey paid them back in the first half, but Naci Ünüvar, on loan from Ajax, clinched the decider about ten minutes before the end.
Ajax suffered an excruciating defeat Sunday afternoon when they visited FC Twente. The Ajax team lost 3-1 in Enschede. Brian Brobbey scored the only goal for the Amsterdam side at the De Grolsch Veste stadium.
Ajax achieved a resounding 8-2 victory in September 1983 against Feyenoord. This impressive win took place on their home turf and was led by prominent talents like Marco van Basten and Jesper Olsen. Under the guidance of their manager, Aad de Mos, Ajax secured a record-breaking victory on a rain-soaked pitch. Notably, this match marked the first time that the legendary Johan Cruijff played for Feyenoord against his former club, Ajax. It was a historic and unforgettable fixture in Dutch football history.
