Roger Schmidt was ‘horrible’ against Erik ten Hag during the match between PSV and Ajax (1-1) on Sunday The Telegraph through Valentijn Driessen. Schmidt allegedly accused Ten Hag on the sidelines that Ajax ‘bought’ the championship. “It is of course ridiculous,” says Driessen in a video item for the newspaper.
“Roger Schmidt went down the line terribly against Erik ten Hag last Sunday”, says Driessen. “He said: ‘You are the Bayern Munich of the Netherlands, you just buy everything up! You buy the championship, it doesn’t look like anything here in the Netherlands!’ Ten Hag did not want to respond. I asked him about Schmidt’s behavior. He did not want to comment on that. But these were, among other things, those statements. Then I think: it is of course very cheap to score, but the wisdom what is in there is that Ajax with Sébastien Haller is unbeatable. “
Driessen finds the selection of Ajax very strong, especially in terms of width, according to the journalist, according to the journalist in Wednesday’s cup match against sc Heerenveen (0-3 win). “Mohammed Kudus played well again, but Oussama Idrissi did not come in very well. Perr Schuurs did well in itself. But there is no measure for this Ajax. We have said that before, and especially after the arrival of Haller. Die selection is so wide, so good quality. You can also see that players from the own youth academy are moving up “, he refers to Devyne Rensch and Jurriën Timber.
Driessen also returns to statements that Schmidt made about Mohamed Ihattaren. The German coach stated that he had ‘no bad plans’ with the ban of Ihattaren against Ajax. “I did it because I want him to be a superstar,” said Schmidt. Driessen does not want to hear about it. “All bullshit, all bullshit, of course. It is about one match, but also about the statement that PSV has issued, with Schmidt’s approval. The boy is being shit, framed in a no-nonsense way. There is nothing wrong with that boy at all. And two days later he can just rejoin the group … It’s not about anything at all. A lot is being broken that doesn’t need to be broken at all. You can also just keep it internal, why does that have to go out? “
