Dusan Tadic has in an interview with Serbian Mozart Sports said that other clubs in the Netherlands have made a ‘pact’ against Ajax. The Serbian captain notes that clubs would rather beat Ajax than other clubs and denounces the ‘envy’. “You can compare it to the situation of Bayern Munich in Germany.”
Ajax has won many prizes in recent seasons, but this year it will not go smoothly with the team from Amsterdam. There is therefore a lot of criticism of Ajax. “That is normal in the Netherlands,” says Tadic Mozart Sports. “It’s the same every year. The difference is that in previous years we were much stronger, so we could bear the pressure more easily. In the Netherlands, people love Ajax or they hate us. There is a lot of frustration because we have such a big be a club and win a lot of prizes.”
Tadic sees comparisons with Bayern’s situation in the Bundesliga. “You can mirror it to that. People wait until you are not doing well and you lose matches, because then they can laugh at you. This is just normal and the only thing that shows is how big Ajax is. For Ajax “It’s the hardest thing to be champions because all the other clubs have a pact to try harder against us. That’s why everything around us is being made so big. They’re all trying to create unrest.”
“Oh well, it doesn’t bother me,” assures the captain of the reigning national champion. “Actually, it is a compliment to us that other people cannot stand Ajax’s successes. That’s just the way it is, although we were able to quiet them earlier because we won more matches. Now we play a bit more often and lose, and if that happens you know who will attack you again. I will remain who I am and just continue as I always do. Every year we win prizes at Ajax and every year I am the most important player in the Eredivisie. That will also be the case this year .”
