Erik Ten Hag was very satisfied after the 5-0 against Fortuna Sittard. The manager saw that his team's game was better than in the previous home matches with AZ and Go Ahead Eagles.
"We created a lot more chances, a lot of goal attempts, but also real opportunities. We ended up scoring five. We could have been a bit more effective, but you have to be satisfied with a 5-0 win."
The Ajax coach will be enjoying Christmas, feeling good: "In the end, we had a good December. We're feeling good. But in the first half of the season, we lost too many points in the home games. That should improve next year, we have to find openings particularly when we face compact oponents."
Ajax closed out the year in style. Erik ten Hag’s side sealed a 5-0-victory over Fortuna Sittard at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
Steven Berghuis had two reasons to celebrate on Sunday - his thirtieth birthday and Ajax’s 0-2 win against Feyenoord. This was his first time returning to the Kuip as an Ajax player. The Ajax bus was met with a lot of fireworks. ''I am grateful to Ajax, Feyenoord and the police for how they arranged the arrival. It was exciting for a bit, but you also have to be mature about that.''
For the fifth time in a row, Ajax came away victorious in the 'Klassieker' on Sunday afternoon. On a visit to the Kuip in which the Ajax players struggled at times, they were extremely disciplined, and eventually won 0-2. The goals were scored by Marcos Senesi (own goal) and Dusan Tadic (penalty kick).
