Koster: “We Deserved It” Adrie Koster enjoyed his biggest win since taking over at Ajax, on October 9, but he didn’t think the 6-1 drubbing of AZ was

No, I don’t find the score-line flattering,” he told Tele 2 network.

“Demy De Zeeuw’s red card proved vital for both Alkmaar and ourselves. A man up we then had to kill the game – and that’s exactly what we did.”

“Our clean-cut finishing was the main reason why the match was not competitive anymore. But after we’d made it 3-1 we were a bit loose.”

Koster was also particularly satisfied with the return of both Edgar Davids and Kenneth Perez. “I found Kenneth decisive in his passing, while Edgar was present overall. It was a beautiful, a spectacular game and now the Eredivisie title fight is wide open.”
