PSV Eindhoven’s Fred Rutten content with a goalless draw against Ajax Amsterdam
Dutch Eredivisie leaders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 Amsterdam, at Philips Stadion despite the match ending in a goalless draw. Rutten praised his players’ efforts
on the pitch as they put in a commanding display and created more chances.
The tactician also praised the efforts of the Amsterdammers shot-stopper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maarten-Stekelenburg-c22998 who kept his side in the game with a string of brilliant saves. He admitted that his side staged better performance in every department of the game, but De
Joden gloves man heroics were the differentiating factor in the match.
Rutten said, “We played a pretty good game. We put Ajax under a lot of pressure right from the start and did not allow them to play their own game. We created some good chances for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ola-Toivonen-c28363 and Balazs Dzsudzsak, while Ajax did not get any serious
chances to open the score. Stekelenburg was instrumental in today's game and helped Ajax to a draw”
“The game was a bit more even after the break. Ajax dropped even further back than they did before the interval and there was not much space to do anything. We dealt with that pretty well though and never stopped playing our own game”, he concluded.
Despite the Boeren’s losing two precious points in this game, they still sit atop the league table by acquiring 54 points, as the Eredivisie reigning champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede were defeated by AZ Alkmaar 2 – 1. However, Rutten was aware of the importance
of their encounter against the Eredivisie giants and managed to bag a crucial point that could prove to be a decisive point at the end of the season.
On the other hand, the Amsterdammers were delighted to restrict the league leaders to a goal less draw. However, the score line has much to owe to the heroics of their gloves man. Team manager, Frank de Boer, praised the efforts of his players on the
pitch. He was delighted to bag a point while playing away from Amsterdam Arena. De Joden are currently placed third in the league table and trail the league leaders with five points. The Amsterdammers will play their upcoming league encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar
at Amsterdam Arena on Sunday. Boer will look to bag all three points in this encounter and remain in the race for title hunt.
The Boeren’s are en route to lift the Eredivisie title for the 22nd time. Rutten will be hoping that his side continues to perform on the pitch throughout the remaining season as well and cement their place at the top of the
league table.
