VriendenLoterij Eredivisie table after matchday 10.

🎙️ Daley Blind: “Now we’ve won three games in a row, and suddenly I don’t hear anyone talking about it anymore. I think that’s just the way it tends to go. When things aren’t going well, people always look for things to criticize.” #Ajax @televoetbal

🎙️ Daley Blind on Míchel Sánchez: “Of course, everyone knows he doesn't speak fluent English, but everyone understands him. He makes himself understood easily, and in the meetings it's also crystal clear what he wants and what he expects from everyone. And if someone makes a mistake once, it doesn't necessarily mean they didn't understand.” #Ajax @televoetbal

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “If Daley had been one hundred percent today, he would have played much earlier.” #Ajaz @ESPNnl

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “Daley Blind is a great guy and a great player. He helps Aaron Bouwman and Dies Janse improve during every training session.” #Ajax @ESPNnl

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “I don't know when Simon Adingra will be back. We don't want to take any risks with him.” #Ajax @VI_nl

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “Steven Berghuis will likely be included in the matchday squad next week.” #Ajax @VI_nl

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “Caio Henrique and Anton Gaaei will probably be available after the international break.” #Ajax @VI_nl

1️⃣0️⃣ Meanwhile in the Messi Cup, Lennox Heitinga just scored this goal for Ajax U16. #Ajax

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “We really need to work on our fitness and energy in the coming week. We have to be ready again when the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie resumes.” #Ajax @ESPNnl

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “Marcos Leonardo was set to come on instead of Julian Brandt. I just changed my mind. I saw that we completely lacked dominance, and I thought it was too risky to bring on an extra attacker then.” #Ajax @ESPNnl

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “We need everyone and we are desperate to get the players who are returning from injuries now, such as Daley Blind and Steven Berghuis, back. We are also desperate to have a truly fit Bissouma.” #Ajax @ESPNnl

🎙️ Míchel Sánchez: “Thursday's match was a tough one. That also affected today's game.” #Ajax @ESPNnl

🇩🇪 Ajax’s man of the match: Marc ter Stegen. #Ajax

✅ Full-time in Rotterdam: Sparta 1-2 Ajax. A difficult afternoon for Ajax in Rotterdam results in three points, thanks to goals from Abdellah Ouazane and Tolu. Just like last Thursday, Ouazane and Tolu make the difference for Ajax, but Marc ter Stegen also showed his qualities today, making multiple important saves. Sparta Rotterdam put in loads of crosses, but they were dealt with by the Ajax defense. #Ajax #spaaja

A minimum of 4 minutes of added time will be played. #Ajax #spaaja

Daley Blind has replaced Julian Brandt. #Ajax #spaaja

Ajax are under an immense amount of pressure at the moment. Owen Wijndal is replacing Youri Baas. #Ajax #spaaja
