Trainer John Heitinga was very satisfied afterwards. “The boys have rewarded themselves. We showed very good football in the first phase, then it got a bit sloppy. Then Sontje Hansen makes an unparalleled goal and you go into halftime with a lead.”
The only seventeen-year-old goalkeeper Tom de Graaff made his debut for the team from Amsterdam. “This season I want to see how it will go. When the trainer said that there will be opportunities, that was only nice.” Did he bring his shirt? “I think this one will soon be in the wash again. I hope I can wear it again this weekend,” said De Graaff with a big smile.
Gabriel Misehouy nicely made Jong Ajax’s third in the second half. “We knew he wasn’t going to play that ball, because he doesn’t do that in training either. He shoots it fantastic,” Heitinga continued. Christian Rasmussen was also accurate with a great long shot. “It’s a specialty of mine, I’m very happy. Hopefully next game again,” said the Dane.
“Rasmussen is making a lot of progress. The goal he makes tonight is bizarre. I think we have a chance at the goal of the month. I also hope that the boys will realize that we have to be less sloppy with the ball. like to attack the half of the opponent. If we are pure in possession, you can see that we can play really good football,” Heitinga concluded with satisfaction.
