With numerous blockers and his effort, Denzel Dumfries was one of PSV's best Sunday afternoon in Amsterdam. However, the captain saw his team fail to win again and actually have little claim to a point. 'It is what it is at the moment.'
Many chances for Ajax
"I'm not tired of standing here though," said Dumfries, who not for the first time this season was the first to speak to FOX Sports reporters after a defeat. "Ajax deservedly took the lead before halftime. They created a lot of chances. In the second half we became a bit more solid on the ball, got some opportunities and for that we should have rewarded ourselves," the right-wing defender felt.
Ihattaren: 'It shouldn't just be on training sessions'
Mohamed Ihattaren then did his story at FOX Sports. There he agreed with the reporter's comment that PSV's football was poor. "You can say that yes," he said. "We can do it," Ihattaren continued. "At training sessions we do better than in the game, but if you don't continue that level, you spill points everywhere. It bothers me that we don't show it in matches. That's where it has to happen, not at training sessions."
Cramped
Interim coach Ernest Faber mentioned the same thing in his analysis. "We are playing very cramped, very different from the way we play in training," Faber said, somewhat surprised. "There the spaces are even much smaller than here, it all goes even faster and everyone participates. In matches we are not free. That's what I see. In training sessions I see some different behavior, but you are PSV to show it in the stadium as well."
