“I think we are ready for the first round of the Champions League, “said Frank de Boer after the 1-0 defeat of Ajax against Saint-Etienne. “We dominated and had little chances to decide the match in our favor, but by one shot Sunday was the hit on the other side.”
The coach spoke in Valence a real test. “Saint-Etienne is a French league table, which like many international teams played: on results. We know how difficult it is to get there on a 4-5-1 system through it. For peace we gave some pinpricks. Unfortunately we did not manage to take the lead. “Especially the defense could tempt him. “Kenny Tete and Jairo Riedewald played well, but Joel Veltman has done very well. We hardly gave anything away and that makes the defeat acid. “
The major gain lay in the fact that all Ajax players made the finish line unscathed. “We also do not take any chances. Kenny example, was called off because it was his second game in five days. That he is not really used yet. And Viktor Fischer remained even at home, because he had all sorts of minor gripes. “
De Boer traveling Tuesday with confidence to Vienna for the CL away match with Rapid Vienna. “I believe in a good result. Though I had rather have a preparation of six weeks. Now we have to stand within four weeks “
