Ajax booked a record victory in Eredivisie history on Saturday afternoon. The team from Amsterdam defeated VVV-Venlo in De Koel with no less than 0-13. Bee Good morning Eredivisie from FOX Sports there is some surprise about the fact that Ajax kept going. It pays particular attention to ‘vulture’ Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and ‘strategists’ Daley Blind and Davy Klaassen.

“Last week I had the feeling that it would be 9-0 or 10-0 for AZ”, Hans Kraay junior refers to last week’s game between AZ and VVV-Venlo. The Alkmaarders led 2-0 after 24 minutes, but gave up this lead after a red card for Jonas Svensson in the final phase. “That Antony is terribly explosive and made two movements in the first two minutes. Schmitz, who was seven and a half meters away and jogged after it. ”

It is emphasized that Lukas Schmitz, the left back of VVV, has played a hundred games in the Bundesliga, for Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen. ‘Quite unbelievable,’ concludes presenter Milan van Dongen. “It has to come from within yourself”, is how Adrie Koster, who is also present, answers, while pointing to the fact that there was no audience present at the game. “Whether there is an audience or not, of course it plays a role. But you still have that intrinsic motivation of damn it. You are driven, you just do not want to leave the field with such a defeat. ”

“Then Ajax deserves the compliment, because I have been on the field often enough and thought: please stop at 6-0”, Arnold Bruggink responds. Van Dongen wonders ‘where that would have come from’. “I have seen countless matches that it was 3-0 at half time and 5-0 in the second half, that top clubs let it go. Does that have to do with the fact that players who normally do not play were lined up? “

“Well, Huntelaar comes in at some point,” Bruggink replies. Huntelaar came in to a 0-9 score as a replacement for Ryan Gravenberch and eventually scored two goals, the first from a penalty kick. “I thought about VVV’s defense, that you are already 0-9 behind and that a Huntelaar’s vulture is coming in,” says Van Dongen. He is supported by Kraay junior: “What an Egyptian vulture that is. What a terrible Egyptian vulture. ” Van Dongen saw Huntelaar pick up the ball after his goals and run back. “He thought: I’ll make five more in the last three minutes,” Kraay junior remarks.

“Blind and Klaassen, those are the strategists or thinkers on the field at Ajax, actually determine what will happen. If they think, well, you know what. Let’s go on today. Then there is no stopping it ”, Bruggink continues. Koster concludes: “It was also so easy, Ajax deserves the credits for continuing. Thirteen goals is an extra point. ”
