I was not playing well against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Eriksen-c9074 – Dutch Eredivisie news
Ajax Amsterdam’s Christian Eriksen admitted that he did not play best of his games in the 1-1 stalemate against Feyenoord Rotterdam at Amsterdam Arena on Sunday, October 23.
The Amsterdammers staged a far from pleasing show at home, while the Rotterdam giants dominated proceedings right from the kick-off. Although the visitors created plenty of opportunities to break the deadlock, their front-line failed to find the target.
As a result, both sides left the pitch at the half-time interval with score line tied at 0-0.
Ten minutes after the break, the Amsterdam giants head coach, Frank de Boer, decided to make a double substitution by replacing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miralem-Sulejmani-c25985 and Christian Eriksen with Jody Lukoki and Dmitry Bulykin respectively.
However, the change proved to be less than useful for the home side, as the Stadiumclub continued to control the game. In the 61st minute, the Rotterdam giants took a deserved lead through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814 scored
the equaliser to seal the game 1-1.
After a disappointing end to the match at Amsterdam Arena, the Danish playmaker expressed his displeasure, not only with the result but also with his substitution.
“Whether it was justified? Yes, I think so. I was not playing well. But I am seeking clarification from the coach that whether it was tactical move or it had to do with my game”, Eriksen said.
The Danish International is still wondering what caused the dip in form after emerging victorious 2-0 against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.
“Fatigue can play a role. But it is difficult to determine exactly what happened. I do not know. After Zagreb, we had so much confidence. But we were too far away from that performance against Feyenoord and created very little for ourselves”, Eriksen concluded
while talking to the Dutch media.
The Danish ace has performed impressively thus far this season. Although the attacking midfielder has only managed to score a lone goal, his impressive playmaking skills have proved to be a constant menace for the opposition. The youngster has provided four
assists in 10 league appearances thus far this season.
