AZ after the first game had little to crumble in the milk, the second game also seems to be settled in writing. If AZ will rub out the 1-4 defeat, they have scored at least four times.
Lyon
The fact that coach Bruno Genesio had already indicated that he probably will rotate indicates that Olympique Lyon have little to fear for AZ. In the competition there is for Lyon enough to win. Les Gones are currently in fourth place and they do a lot with it to get a ticket for a new European adventure.
That Lyons little fear AZ Moreover, it seems more than justified. Last week could AZ in-house does not really hurt the French. Lyon quietly hung back to let the game make the Alkmaar and she was more than fine off. The difference between these two teams it was mainly in the quality. For example, where Wout Weghorst it did not manage to find the net while he did get the chances, showed pit stops Alexandre Lacazette see what it had to.
Because it was finally 1-4, ensured Lyon had little to complain about. Partly due to the excellent position of the French team, there will undoubtedly be changed by. Genesio can at least do not appeal to Memphis Depay. The Dutchman who came over in the winter of Manchester United, is not eligible and will therefore take place in the gallery.
AZ Alkmaar
John van den Brom said afterwards about naivety, though it appears his players to have to lay it down this time on quality. AZ turns still not great and wintering in Europe seemed therefore the maximum achievable. In the league it is particularly stiff and they exchange good results with disappointing performances. Likewise, last weekend, when AZ 1-1, had visited William II.
Still, AZ tried it indeed play football in the first match against Olympique Lyon. Especially Alireza Jahanbakhsh tried creativity to stand out. Eventually, AZ also created chances, but they could not print successfully. In the Premier League the evil it was during the match against Willem II. The sharpness, for example Ilias Bel Hassani and Wout Weghorst still seems to be missing out.
Nearby Van den Brom sees his colleagues make the necessary changes, it is still unclear whether the Dutchman there also starts. The situation seems, given that AZ must create at least four goals, irreversible and so it would not be strange if the coach will also make changes.
Probable lineup AZ Alkmaar
Curl, Johansson, Luck Assen, Van Eijden, Haps, Bel Hassani, Rienstra, Seuntjens, Dos Santos, Weghorst, Tankovic
