Ajax completed the first block of their new season with a bit of disappointment on Saturday. Ajax did not get a win against Excelsior at Arenal on home ground, which created an atmosphere of disappointment in the team. However, the post-match discussion revealed that Ajax performed well. Coach Mitchell said, "We played a great match. We conceded two goals, but gave very few chances. That's the story of this match."

The coach also said how luck betrayed Ajax in this match. "It was a day when the ball did not go our way. We created chances, although we did not convert them properly but overall the players did a good job," he said. Mitchell further said, "The players should continue playing like this. We need to play such matches and then we will win."

Now Ajax has a long international break. Mitchell plans to use this time to get the players fully fit and work on their game plan. He said, "I want to use this time to fully fit the players who are not fully fit yet. Some players will go for their national team, but I will work on it with the rest of the players."

Club captain Davy Klaasen also took part in the post-match discussion. "We played well, created a lot of chances, but we missed too many chances. It's always a question of whether it's luck or not. Whatever we do, we have to play better and create as many chances as possible. In today's match, we missed all the chances except two goals," he said.

Ajax also conceded two goals in this match. Klaasen said on this, "If you concede goals, it means that you are not defending well all together. We were good in attack today, but in defense it was not always like that. We have to improve it, otherwise we always have to concede three or four goals, which is not always possible."

Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen said, "Everyone who watched the match saw that we deserved more. We should have scored more goals in the first half. It is our fault that we could not win. We should not have conceded two goals at home. We should have finished this match in the first half. When we do not do that, the opposition gets a chance to equalise."

Ter Stegen has also received good news this week as he has been recalled to the Germany national team. He said, "It's very important. Very important. It wasn't easy in the last few years. I'm very happy that I'm coming back now. Every little kid dreams of ever playing for their country. And especially in the last two years, when I haven't always been able to play, it's nice now that I'm being treated like this in Germany."
