Francesco Farioli appeared in front of the Ziggo Sport camera after the thrilling penalty shootout. “It was incredible,” the Ajax coach began. “The spirit and dedication of the team were amazing tonight. We are not perfect, but we can’t say that the players didn’t give it their all.”
Farioli acknowledges that things need to improve. “But the game was fantastic for me,” he was clear. “It’s difficult to go into a penalty shootout after a game like that. It may have taken a little longer, but we’ve taken another important step.”
