“It hasn’t calmed down since I stepped in,” said Van ‘t Schip, who is disappointed by the unrest. “In that situation, we have to perform the entire season with a young group. In that respect, they handle it well. But people often forget that it also has an impact on a group.”
The players group was called together on Tuesday morning to share the news about Kroes. “I had received a phone call very early. Based on this, a number of players were also informed before the entire group came together. Marijn Beuker explained a few things and then we started training.”
Go Ahead Eagles home
The Ajax players had to quickly return to the order of the day. Go Ahead Eagles will visit the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Thursday evening. “Now more than ever it is important to stick together. The boys have to keep their focus. We have to try to end the season in the best possible way.”
In any case, Van ‘t Schip cannot call on Brian Brobbey, Steven Berghuis and Jordan Henderson on Thursday. “Hopefully Brian can join up again on Sunday and have a role, but that depends on the coming days.”
The head coach of Ajax emphasizes that the match against Go Ahead Eagles is very important for the battle for fifth place. “The great thing about football is that we are playing a match again with a lot at stake.”
