A donkey does not hit the same stone twice

After Ajax’s 2-3 victory over Kambur, in the 26th round of the Eredivisie, Erik Ten Hag, the visiting coach, warned of mistakes made in certain moments of the match, as he was already considering a second hand from the round of 16. Champions League, against Benfica, which takes place on Tuesday

“It was just like last week [vitória por 3-2 frente ao Waaljwik]. I say that the donkey did not hit the same stone twice, but this happened to us. We made a lot of individual mistakes again after 2-1 and only after 2-2 were we able to get a good reaction. However, we have to get out of this stage, otherwise we won’t always be able to get rid of it.”

The winning goal was reached at 90+2 by Gravenbrich, but Ten Hag ruled out placing the midfielder in a privileged position to be key in the Benfica reception. “he is [Gravenberch] It was great, maybe he played the best game of the season, but in a match like this, against Benfica, we need Edson Alvarez’s determination and ability to position,” said Ten Hag.

Benfica heads to Amsterdam, Tuesday, at 8 pm, to try to cut the road to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the first leg, the Eagles drew 2-2 with Ajax, with goals from Dusan Tadic, Sebastian Haller (for and against their team) and Roman Yarmacuk.
