sport">“You can lose from Liverpool last Tuesday, but not at home against FC Twente”, Ten Hag was disappointed. “You can have a bad day, but this is not possible. This has to do with mentality. If you start at 90 percent, it is very difficult to turn that around. ”
sport">Ajax seemed to have a head start in Wednesday’s important game with Atalanta in the Champions League. “Of course I see that danger coming,” said Ten Hag. “But I also failed. So I was unable to convey this. ”
Danger towards Atalanta
sport">Ten Hag also took into account the match against Atalanta, which must be won in order to be allowed to winter in the Champions League. He didn’t bring Antony but Brian Brobbey when Lassina Traoré dropped out. Nicolás Tagliafico and Perr Schuurs also went to the side early in the second half. “That was as a precaution and in view of Atalanta,” he acknowledged.

sport">“You know that many teams will lose points in December,” said Ten Hag. “But now we do it ourselves. Too many players failed. Then you run into a zeperd. Everyone has a bad day sometimes. But this was unacceptable. ”
‘FC Twente has fought like lions’
sport">At FC Twente there was joy in trainer Ron Jans. “But it was not undeserved either,” stated the experienced trainer. “Whoever plays, they only have good players”, Jans referred to the saving of a few players by colleague Ten Hag.
sport">“We fought like lions,” said Jans. “And we have executed our battle plan well. I thought Ajax was more dominant before the break, but who cares. I don’t think I’ve ever won an away match against Ajax as a player or trainer. So this trainer is very happy. ”
sport">“If you win as a small club from a top club, then the top club has failed”, said Jans. “I’m used to that. I have also seen Ajax play better, but we have also done good things. ”
