John van ‘t Schip’s reaction after the defeat on a visit to SC Heerenveen can count on approval from Maarten Wijffels. The team from Amsterdam lost 3-2 and saw the equalizer disallowed in the final phase.
The ball did not completely cross the goal line. Van ‘t Schip did not want to dwell on that moment for too long afterwards. “That remains the most essential thing in sports. The ball is either in the goal or not in the goal,” Wijffels discusses the moment in the AD Voetbalpodcast. “I must say: I thought Ajax’s reaction, both from the trainer and Berghuis, was great.”
According to the journalist, there is also a ‘certain resignation’. “But then again. Van ‘t Schip is a gentleman, how he reacts to that. You really have to give him that credit, because you come back from 3-0 behind to 3-2 and almost 3-3. Then There are also people who react differently.”
“You will only get the chance to take home a point in such a match. It may just be that you fall short at the end to possibly finish third. Let’s be honest: you know it not,” Wijffels said.
