The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 midfielder put in an impressive performance in his side’s 6-0 win over Heracles Almelo on Eredivisie match-day 28.
Ajax Amsterdam midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Heracles-Almelo-c39520 at Amsterdam Arena on Sunday, April 1.
The veteran midfielder, who joined the Amsterdammers in the summer of 2011 after making 86 appearances for C Twente Enschede, remained a constant menace for the Heraclieden throughout the 90 minutes.
The 30-year-old was pleased with his performance, netting a goal while setting up one more. However, he insisted that the best moment of the game was not about his performance, it was the successful return of Kolbeinn Sigthrosson to match action after a
long-term injury.
“There were many beautiful moments in the game. However, Kolbeinn’s return was the best part. In addition, his goal was more cheerful than anything else”, Janssen was quoted as saying to the media.
The Dutch International went on to reveal that he was thinking about teeing up the Icelandic ace if any goal-scoring chance came up when he came on the pitch.
“He was out of action for the last five months or so. When he came on the field, I immediately thought that if any goalscoring opportunity came, I will try to set him up. Thankfully, that moment came”, Janssen added.
The former FC Twente midfielder has not featured for the Amsterdam giants regularly this term due to various injuries. He has thus far made 23 Eredivisie appearances and has netted six goals while providing seven assists.
Ajax are currently sitting at the summit of the table, a lone point ahead of the second placed, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar. With six matches left to play in the season, they have a bright chance of defending the Eredivisie title.
Janssen has also asserted that his side can certainly become champions come the end of the 2011/12 campaign.
“In the recent weeks, we have played impressively. We all are in good form. Hopefully we can retain the title”, the veteran midfielder concluded.
The midfield ace has an ongoing contract at Amsterdam Arena that runs until the summer of 2013.
