AZ trainer Maarten Martens does not have a good word for his team after the Blamage in Finland in the second preliminary round of the Conference League. The Alkmaarders lost the first match against Ilves Tampere with 4-3 on Thursday.
“We didn’t do it well enough,” Martens said to Ziggo Sport after the match. “We have to be very critical of this. You have to dominate your opponent in the duels, but it was much too easy.”
Martens could not believe that AZ got the 3-2 and the 4-2 in a three-minute period of three minutes. “Errors can be made, but that was unacceptable. We will not meet agreements there.”
Martens Woest was especially about the fourth counter goal. Several players from AZ were not at the lesson with a quick throw -in from Ilves Tampere. “We have agreements about that. Too many boys were not busy with the team and then you are behind the facts. That is unacceptable.”
Martens also showed that in the dressing room. “We cannot accept certain things and everyone should realize that. We have a lot of talent and good players, but it is also about maturity and fulfilling agreements. If we indicate certain things in discussions and do not see that, you can also be hard.”
Captain Jordy Clasie demands a quick improvement at AZ, which must win at least with one goal difference next Thursday in the return in Alkmaar to prevent elimination. “We have to play with more self -confidence. We play for the first time for the echie and are not performing. We and I have to improve that if we want to throw high eyes this year.”
