Jordy Clasie expressed his frustrations after AZ’s goalless draw at Almere City on Saturday. The captain sees that the game of the Alkmaar club is not sufficient, even after the change of coach.

“What else do you have to say? What we show is very mediocre. With the way we play, we can lose every week,” Clasie said afterwards. ESPN. “You have two or three chances and they have to go in. In addition, we play unworthy of AZ. Everyone. Each and every one of them.”

AZ has only taken three points in the last six Eredivisie matches. The last victory was on December 9 at home against Almere City (4-1). It is also the first time in ten years that AZ has not scored in three games in a row.

The AZ management decided to intervene in January by firing coach Pascal Jansen. Successor Maarten Martens has only collected three points in four games so far.

Clasie acknowledged that the change of trainer has not yet yielded much. “We haven’t won a match yet. It’s been like that for a month or two. We have to get out of here quickly as a team. Only the players on the field can make that happen.”

Due to the defeat, AZ’s deficit to number three FC Twente has increased to eight points. Number five Ajax can take over fourth place on Sunday. The Amsterdam team plays an away match against sc Heerenveen.
