Youri Mulder and Wesley Sneijder are stunned after Francesco Farioli’s interview about Ajax-Lazio (1-3). The Italian was again positive after the defeat of the team from Amsterdam. The Ziggo Sport analysts wonder if they have seen another match.
“Yes, I am dumbfounded,” Youri Mulder starts, after which presenter Helène Hendriks asks if the analyst can explain it. “What do you mean? Are we crazy or is he crazy? We saw a completely different match. I was upstairs watching intently and I saw an Ajax opponent who deserved to win. Not the other way around.”
Sneijder joins Mulder. “Yes, I was listening too and I thought to myself: Or should I really start doubting myself now…It all has to be positive. I think that’s it. I hope he is realistic in the dressing room. I sincerely hope so. Otherwise it will continue like this until the end of the season. If only it were all great…”
Farioli talked about, among other things, the 5 to 6 opportunities that the Amsterdam team got against Lazio. “Either I saw a completely different match, or he is still in that emotion that he lost. Or we have indeed gone crazy.”
After the AZ-Ajax (2-1) match, Farioli was also ‘proud’ of his team. This earned him a lot of criticism. These statements also stir up some controversy.
