Ajax inspiration bites piece at Heracles Almelo – Voetbal International

Ajax for the second time this season items leave in a home game in the Eredivisie. It lacked the team of coach Frank de Boer to the inspiration to play the defense of Heracles Almelo piece:. 0-0

As in the first two matches (1-0 against ADO Den Haag and Vitesse) of after the winter break, Ajax had great difficulty finding the net against Heracles. The team of coach John Stegeman cashed in the previous three away games in a total of eleven goals (4-2 against FC Utrecht, against Feyenoord 3-0 and 4-0 against FC Twente) but Amsterdammers came nowhere near close of such figures.

Especially in the first half had Heracles goalkeeper Bram Castro a relatively easy night. Only Daley Sinkgraven suggested the 33-year old Belgian to the test after a clever step-over from Arek Milik, who hardly came into play. Lacking tried to great opportunities Riechedly Bazoer (photo) after half an hour therefore once again from distance but the quick action of the nineteen-year-old midfielder ended with a shot into the net.

The first minutes after the break seemed to be a moment of a rush at the end Almelo come. After Castro shots of Anwar El Ghazi and Bazoer had turned the Amsterdam rally was short-lived, however, was nipped in the bud. The leader of the Eredivisie dealt in the play around the ball back, where Mike van der Hoorn, Jairo Riedewald and Mitchell Dijks each one had to do with physical discomfort. Yet Ajax was never in trouble.

During his first base of the season in the Eredivisie could not prevent Mike van der Hoorn points loss.

That Iliass Bel Hassani after an hour left a note of the first field goal of Heracles, said everything about the intentions with which the number four of the Premier League at The Arena had traveled. Ajax knew also after the introduction of Viktor Fischer not cope with that. It fits into the story of the last few months. Even before the turn of the year went to the league matches against FC Utrecht (1-0 loss) and De Graafschap (2-1 win) already extremely difficult.

Bonus Ajax left this season, however, in-house until now only lie in the match against PSV (1-2). Heracles will be the happier with the point, the first in an away game since November 7 (1-1 at PEC Zwolle). Ajax must fear that PSV Wednesday reduces the gap to one point visiting Excelsior. They could also Ricardo van Rhijn, replacing the precaution to the side extracted Joel Veltman and Lasse Schöne in the final phase nothing to change.

Fischer and Schöne names in the final minutes of the home game, although the goal of Castro still under fire, but the Heracles defense stood firm. Mike to Wierik had seven minutes to go, even the chance to give his team an unexpected victory, but the 23-year-old defender touched the void when he went off alone on Jasper Cillessen. Therefore Ajax have scored the twelfth clean sheet in 2015/16, equaling the grand total of last season.
