Edson Álvarez is not yet ready at Ajax, he says in an interview on the club channel of the Amsterdammers. The 22-year-old Mexican defender wants to make a new start and says that there are no more excuses.
Although Álvarez started the season as a base player – in midfield, however – he soon disappeared to the bench. “Those were decisions by the technical staff. I gave the best to myself every day, but I fell short and of course I missed the presence of my family,” he says to Ajax TV.
“It was a year with a lot of good things, but also with less good things. Both in sports and off the field,” said Álvarez. “I played good matches, made two important goals, but the problem with my family has had a lot of influence. I could not be with my girlfriend and newborn daughter. That is very difficult if you are from another country. But now I am very happy again and I have a lot of new energy. “
The Mexican international is determined to show better next season. “I want to put all that behind me. I want a fresh start. I know I can show much more. I want to give people what they expect from me, that is my goal. I am very happy now and I love it convinced that it can be a very good season for me. “
“The first year is always difficult for new players. It is a year of adjusting. There is no excuse next season, then everything has to go well. I want to play everything. I really want to win and hope to show that on the field . “
Álvarez: “No excuses for the coming season!”
