AZ Alkmaar :
AZ does competition really does not matter anymore. The Alkmaar have eight points ahead of Heracles Almelo and it has to run very crazy AZ will not be sure of the playoffs for European football. This week we managed AZ not to take points against Ajax. Earlier this season Alkmaar held another point on the game (2-2), but AZ crashed in the Arena: 4-1. Ajax came after just sixteen minutes ahead through a goal from Bertrand Traoré and Alkmaar were lucky that they sought out the backwardness changing rooms with a 1-0. In the second half AZ played a lot better and makes Wout Weghorst even 1-1, but ultimately so Ajax won 4-1.
John van den Brom whined after that goal Davinson Sáncheez actually had to be rejected, but also recognized that his team started badly in Amsterdam. “We were not going to fight in the first 25 minutes.

Roda :
Yannis Anastasiou can again take a breath at Roda JC. The Greek was at the beginning of this matchday in last place with his team, but saw that Go Ahead Eagles Wednesday that took place by losing 8-0 at Feyenoord. The Kerkrade Spikes only arrived Thursday in action and knew when to beat PEC Zwolle. The of Zwolle had enough chances in the Parkstad Limburg Stadium and arrived late in the first half lead through a goal from Youness Mohktar. In the second half Roda came up with the necessary fortune at the same height by a scoring Guliano van Velzen. Then the initiative entirely to the visitors and earned PEC Zwolle was also just three points, but remained in Limburg after Mikhael Rosheuvel headed from near the ball behind goalkeeper Mickey van der Hart.
Ron Jans left after the game know it was that incredibly did not win of Zwolle in Kerkrade, but Anastasiou had to grind. “This victory we had awfully needed. We win here with a bit of luck, but you need that in football “, as the Greek coach said after the game. Roda coach put no secret of the fact that the victory was much needed for Roda: “You can not imagine how this disconnect, especially after what happened in recent days.” Anastasiou does not currently fear anyway for his job, because the lead on lags Go ahead Eagles three points and Kerkrade Egyptians have a better goal difference.
Today Kerkrade Egyptians must therefore again to the tray and a good result would mean that Roda JC is out of danger. The Kerkrade Egyptians managed to grab six points from the last four games, but according Anastasiou there is no reason too cheer now: “The atmosphere is good and the guys work hard. Confidence is great, but we are in a position where every game we should continue to give the maximum. “With only five games to really give everything Roda players and hope not win the competition. The program is Anastasiou in the last matches at least not with, because Roda JC play against three teams from the top half and a high performance Willem II.
