Rangers vs AFC Ajax: With Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s performances for Rangers FC, Alfred Schreuder is happy. The Ajax coach responded to a query regarding his compatriot coach during the news conference on Monday night.
Van Bronckhorst had stated at his own press conference that Rangers is not currently performing at the same level as Ajax. Schreuder, do you concur with that? “In a way, I believe he is correct. Rangers suffered severe losses,” Schreuder made reference to Calvin Bassey, who was seated next to him during the news conference, when he said, “We have taken over a player from Rangers, which also speaks something.”
Ajax defeated Rangers 4-0 in the opening game of the group. The Champions League has great expectations, but that’s just how the world is. Everyone has an opinion, so it’s important for you to concentrate on your own strategy. Gio is working extremely hard at this club.
“With Napoli and Liverpool in the group, it’s challenging. We want tomorrow’s game to be just like the one against the Rangers, but anything may happen. We are aware that something is possible here,” Schreuder commented.
Van Bronckhorst feels that comparing the two clubs is unfair. “We, against Ajax?” The team that has been successful in Europe for the past five or six years and nearly made the final? For the previous three years, we have performed well in Europe, but we are not on the same level as Ajax. We are growing; that is how things are,” he said.
“Overall, the Ajax players are at a higher level.” Van Bronckhorst also made reference to Bassey. “They have a huge budget, have bought 100 million in players, and have taken over a not too bad defence from us,” he said. “We may measure ourselves against Ajax in a certain encounter, particularly at Ibrox. But we can’t compare ourselves to them overall.”
