Ajax head coach Erik ten Hag feels that the Reds won the game out of luck.
He says that the Liverpool squad was rather ‘vulnerable’ during the match. However, Ajax wasn’t able to take advantage of the situation and missed out on winning the match.
“It would have been a big bonus if we had taken one or more points,” the Ajax head coach said.
“I think Liverpool was vulnerable. Unfortunately, we didn’t make the most of that.”
Ten Hag added: “We were unlucky. We performed well collectively. We were convincing, but that last one per cent was missing – we didn’t score even though we created many chances.
“That’s the story of this game, I think.”
Ten Hag was pleased enough with Ajax’s performance.
“We knew Liverpool’s strength, we wanted to prevent their full-backs, who are their playmakers, from going forward. That was one,” he said.
“The second thing is that we wanted to control the midfield. Daley [Blind] is very good at that, he’s so calm on the ball. And in that way, we wanted to attack their defence with deep runs. I think we did that quite well a couple of times.”
