AZ on Report: ‘Catenaccio’ AZ particularly excels as a collective

AZ has one point left in the match with PSV (2-2). The Alkmaarders defended themselves bravely against the reigning national champions. In this article you can read how we assess the different players.

Owusu-Oduro – 7
While the young goalkeeper did not have to make a save in the first half, the goalkeeper was increasingly called upon as the match progressed. Particularly in the final phase, the young goalkeeper stood out with his decisive effort. A convincing start to the new year.

Moller Wolfe – 6,5
Had a hard time with the crafty Perisic at times. The 1-1 was due to miscommunication on his side, otherwise we have little to criticize about the Norwegian’s performance.

Goes – 7
No one will dare to question the current implementation of the central defense. Goes and Penetra looked solid again today. His cheering was characteristic after successfully parrying a dangerous shot by PSV player Bakayoko.

Penetrates – 7
As mentioned above, the central defense looked solid in Eindhoven. PSV did not have a single shot between the posts in the first half.

Maikuma – 6
Caught something sloppy tonight. Perhaps it was due to his active direct opponent -Noa Lang-, but this was a rare poor performance by the Japanese.

Classie – 6.5
Of course the captain, without really excelling, also played a solid game. Indestructible.

Shopkeepers – 7
Active and enterprising today. Of course we saw it in action mainly defensively tonight, but the midfielder also contributed offensively.

Myans – 7
Had a fabulous one could and should have had a front assist to his name, were it not for the fact that PSV player Ledezma barely managed to clear the ball off the line. His assist for the 2-1 was a reward for a strong performance by the attacking midfielder.

Lahdo – 7.5
If we are completely honest, Lahdo was not the best on AZ’s side tonight. Yet the statistics do not lie, he already scored his third goal since his serious injury. That leaves you wanting more.

Van Bommel – 6 (54′)
Unfortunately, the penalty moment will remain with us, but we cannot blame Ruben for anything. Certainly didn’t play without merit.

Parrott – 6
Missed a huge chance in the first ten minutes. Played okay after that, but not pompous.

Cheap – 5.5
Apart from a strong rush in the first half, a fairly invisible performance from the young attacker.

Players who have been on the field for less than 30 minutes will not receive a rating

Kasius – (73′)

Meerdink (73′)

Martins Indi (84′)

Neighbor (84′)

AZ op Rapport is by nature subjective and should be taken with a grain of salt.
