‘The kids at Ajax have their hands full quickly’, concludes Wim Kieft after the 0-2 win over Feyenoord in De Kuip on Wednesday night. In his weekly column on his behalf The Telegraph let the Amsterdammer know that the joy of the supporters is added.

Kieft believes that Ajax largely owes the incredible three points to two goalkeeping errors by Feyenoord goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther. “After the quick lead, Ajax were mostly defensive, especially in the second half.

The former striker uses Ajax’s attack leader as an example. “Wout Weghorst had a good chance to lead just after half-time, but otherwise he might have hit ten balls as Ajax were very defensive.” Weghorst’s contribution as a barrier says enough about how Ajax presented itself in De Kuip,” said Kieft.

Kieft points out that Ajax’s current style of play can be accepted at this stage of construction. “Only the training coach Francesco Farioli needs to improve with his team in terms of football. It is up to Ajax to position themselves to further improve possession of the ball, as that is still poor.

Kieft is looking forward to the match between Ajax and PSV on Saturday night at 6.45pm for a special reason. “Whether the Eredivisie will remain exciting depends on that game. PSV were thought to lose their unattainable status without Jerdy Schouten and Joey Veerman, but the other midfield options of Ismael Saibari and Malik Tillman are delivering. Together with Noa Lang, these two are PSV’s main talents.”

“These three have the creativity to make a difference at a higher level. “After Feyenoord-Ajax, Ajax-PSV is not only a good test case for Ajax, but at the same time the PSV trio can show that their ceiling is higher than PSV,” Kieft concluded.

Serdar Gözübüyük comments on the match between Ajax and PSV on Saturday. The match between Feyenoord and AZ will continue in De Kuip at 9 pm. Dennis Higler has been named as the referee for that game.
