Silvano Vos is very disappointed with his catastrophic mistake in the match against Brighton & Hove Albion. The Ajax midfielder made a mistake on the Europa League evening, allowing Ansu Fati to score the 0-1. A knee injury may have affected him in the match against the Premier League club, Vos said afterwards in front of the camera. ESPN.
Things went wrong for Ajax in the fifteenth minute. Vos delivered the ball completely unnecessarily to Simon Adingra, who soon afterwards launched Ansu Fati. Face to face with Diant Ramaj, the attacker hired from FC Barcelona had no trouble finding the bottom left corner: 0-1. In the end, Brighton won 0-2.
“I was handed the ball and I wanted to pass it to Hato,” Vos reflects on the perilous moment. “But I didn’t look carefully and at this level it is immediately punished. The ball went to Ansu Fati and he shot it in.â€
“It is a learning moment, but the boys took care of me well and the audience stayed behind me. They know what I can do. I’m a very fierce boy, sharp, and I think I was very sharp before the match.â€
“After that mistake, things went downhill for me. Of course it will start to haunt your head and you will be less able to play freely. You are in the starting line-up for the first time in the Europa League, you make a mistake and it is immediately punished. But again: this is a learning moment for me.â€
“My knee is bothering me,” Vos then responds to the question why he seems to have difficulty walking. “It’s been bothering me for a while and now it’s gotten worse. During the match it bothered me more and I now walk with a limp.’
“I think it is important to get completely fit. I have had this injury for two months now. It comes and it goes, but now it has gotten a bit worse. I will have to check with the physio what the plan is now: whether I will train or stay indoors for a while to recover. That is the question now,’ says Vos.
