For the first time since 1945, an Eredivisie season will be canceled. Dutch authorities have implemented this decision on Friday, a few days after announcing that the championship would not end. This decision obviously generated multiple reactions within the clubs. Ajax Amsterdam is one of the teams most frustrated by this choice since the capital club could have won a new title of champion of the Netherlands.
Ajax understands this decision, Utrecht screams in scandal
Edwin van der Sar, general manager of Ajax, was very understanding. “The players, the coaches, they want to win the title on the field. We’ve been ahead all year, so we could have complained, but given the context we’re in, the decision is understandable. There are so many more important things than football. ” Utrecht, on the other hand, shouts scandal. The club is ranked sixth just three points behind Willem II with one game less and a Cup final (against Feyenoord) to play. “This is the biggest scandal in the history of Dutch sport,” thundered club coach Henk de Jong in comments echoed by The team.
