Oussama Idrissi excelled on behalf of AZ in the top match against Ajax on Sunday. The left wing attacker played an excellent game in the Johan Cruijff ArenA and eventually set the final score at 0-2 in the second half. Idrissi was satisfied in front of the camera afterwards VTBL, but clearly couldn’t appreciate a specific “question” from reporter Simon Zijlemans.
Zijlemans interviewed Idrissi immediately afterwards in Amsterdam and asked the AZ attacker if he thought his disallowed goal after more than an hour of playing might not have been better than the actual goal he made in the 74th minute. Idrissi acted as the end station of a smooth-running attack for the rejected goal, but the goal was eventually rejected by the video referee (VAR), because Myron Boadu had previously made hands.
Idrissi admitted that he did indeed find the rejected goal more beautiful than the final 0-2, which came about fifteen minutes before time through a lob, after a long ball of Teun Koopmeiners. “It was a nice team goal, with a good build-up. We changed sides well, good overlap, the ball was pulled back and I shot the ball in well,” Idrissi summed up. “It’s a shame the goal wasn’t approved.”
“You describe the entire first half of the season you’ve had with AZ. Team goal, overlap, collaboration. You name it,” Zijlemans responded to Idrissi’s analysis. The reporter tried to make it so clear that AZ’s sporting performance and field game before the winter break were better. Idrissi then replied Zijelemans as if bitten by an adder. “I think it’s a bit of an inappropriate question if you’ve just won Ajax 0-2 in the ArenA.”
Zijelemans was clearly amazed by Idrissi’s fierce response and then asked the AZ person why he thought his question “inappropriate”. Idrissi explained that AZ is a team “in a process.” “You can’t be fantastic every week. In the first half of the season we were very constant. In the second half of the season it was a bit less, but that is part of it. After today we are just first again. That is a very good performance. The road we didn’t go without a struggle here, but if you can beat the number one today, then you are doing really well together, “says Idrissi.
