De Boer was something less good news about Fischer. The Dane made in November after eight months of his return to training with Ajax, but now has a “little setback” in his return from a hamstring injury.
“But not so much that we should be concerned. If you’ve been there a long time out, you can get a response. For Viktor this is a disappointment, because he wants to be fit as soon as possible, but he sees it is still positive. “
The Boer reported that the “reasonably good side” on the go with Boilesen and Sigthorsson. “About Zimling we must wait and see.”
Tucked Stitched
The former defender stressed that he attaches great importance to the cup, the price he never won as a coach. “Victor is the most important. But the cup is a price. I’ve been twice in the cockpit for the final, there was already close. Now I want to win it again.”
De Boer continues despite the mediocre twelfth place in the league for the strong qualities of Vitesse. “It’s a very good footballing team. If you are not focused and not bright enough, you can be just ticking away.”
“Vitesse lives under his stand and there is currently bad. The championship, they turn their heads. The only price that remains is the cup. We must ensure that Vitesse is also disabled for this. “
The Ajax coach, who gave in the previous two rounds against the amateurs of JOS Watergraafsmeer and SV Urk some basic players rest, claimed only one change in his squad compared to the match against FC Utrecht (3-1 win). Ruben Ligeon takes the place of Riechedly Bazoer.
