Sharpshooter Milik proves its value against Excelsior – Voetbal International

Ajax home match against Excelsior Sunday brought to a successful conclusion: 3-0. After a difficult opening phase Arek Milik proved himself a starting spot worthy by making his tenth and eleventh goal of the Eredivisie season.

Ajax had since 5-2 victory over SC Heerenveen from early December struggling to win large numbers. The team of Frank de Boer shot to the 24th matchday of all teams in the Premier League even the least often on target in 2016. In his quest for a solution to that problem was the coach of Ajax last two matches Milik on the bench, but against Excelsior proved the Polish striker is precisely the key to success.

by the grouped defensive Kralingers Ajax found the way to the goal initially very difficult. Then it went better run in the final minutes before halftime, Milik broke the spell. Although the Polish international was given a safe-conduct from the Excelsior defense, but his effort in the intersection was little to bargain. That Milik dynamite in his left foot, has become so well known in the Premier League, but after the break were Tom Muyters and Henrico Drost not calculated it: 2-0

Until Milik caused Ajax for. first time in over two months, again went on to win by a margin of at least two goals, Amin Younes was the most active Ajax. However, the actions of the German winger stranded often prematurely. Only shortly after the opening goal of Milik Younes was close to a hit. His shot flew towards the top corner, but this time Muyters was a fine save.

That Arek Milik against Feyenoord and ADO Den Haag sat on the bench, has seen its remarkable figures. Besides eleven league goals kept the Polish striker still six assists.

The Belgian goalkeeper had initially had little to do, although he got away when his bad assumption resulted after a pass into a goal kick . In the first half hour that would have been the greatest moment of excitement. Long shots of Nemanja Gudelj and Riechedly Bazoer lacked venom and / or precision, while Anwar El Ghazi (which broke off a piece of tongue and cheek bruised by a breach of Bas Kuipers) limp was completing and Younes and Davy Klaassen next headed.

Because Ajax as a diesel needed to get going against Excelsior’s team Fons Groenendijk could briefly saw a rare stunt at the Arena. Stanley Elbers, Brandley Kuwas and Tom van Weert escaped at counters regularly to the three Ajax defenders, but helped some good opportunities soap. So Elbers shot just wide after a clever passje Van Weert, who also did not follow itself in its two matches against ADO Den Haag.

Because Ajax retract gas after the second goal, Excelsior should keep trying. The first uitgoal since mid December remained, while Muyters rescued by another icicle of Milik. Yet the Polish marksman also had a share in the third goal. From his pass put rookie Robert Muric the year Klaassen (23) to score. The only difference with PSV is a point, but Ajax have a better goal difference. Excelsior is increasingly concerned at the sixteenth place.
