Ajax used a 5-3-2 formation against the Tilburg team. "We got back from Azerbaijan Friday and were told the line-up yesterday (Saturday, ed.). It came as a surprise, but we have been training for it quite a lot," said Van den Boomen. "I think the manager thinks it's important everyone is fit next week. It turned out ok in the end."
The Ajax midfielder is feeling confident about the upcoming games against Feyenoord and PSV respectively. "I think our section is in good shape. But we do need to do something about applying pressure from this section. We are busy working on that," Van den Boomen concluded.
