Kenneth Perez thinks that Ajax left the field with a satisfied feeling. The team from Amsterdam drew 3-3 against Olympique Marseille in the Europa League and ended the match with ten men due to a red card from substitute Silvano Vos. The analyst is not happy with the reaction of the audience after the midfielder’s red card.

Vos received his second yellow card in injury time after a foul on Vitinha. The Ajax player then left amid loud applause from the audience, after which he clapped back himself. Incomprehensible, says Perez. “I think Ajax leaves the field with a good feeling, like: scored three goals and fought for what we are worth. In any case, the supporters have seen some Dutch boys and fewer purchases in action.”

“And then Silvano Vos, who claps when leaving the field even though he has just received a red card. It’s ridiculous! You have just come on, get a red card and then start clapping at the crowd. That’s insane, isn’t it? If you just get red, I think that reaction is very special. You’re disappointed in yourself then, aren’t you? Well, let’s just say he is young,” said the analyst, who did not receive support from colleague Marciano Vink.

“I think the audience also saw a certain fighting spirit in him,” says Vink. “You have to look at the whole situation. That club is on fire and then you have players on the field who don’t know each other very well. There is a great call for our own youth, for our own players and for recognition. And then Vos came in, who immediately gave everything. If the entire stadium applauds, then I understand his reaction,” said the analyst.
