De Ligt: Ajax is not Strong Enough Against Tottenham Pressure

DBasia.news –  Ajax captain Matthijs De Ligt admitted his side had come under pressure after a goal from Tottenham Hotspur.

Ajax must end their beautiful Champions League trip this season after losing 3-2 to Tottenham Hotspur.

De Ligt judged everything had changed since Lucas Moura scored in the 55th minute. Suddenly, Erik ten Hag’s foster children could not bring out their best abilities. Conversely, Spurs continued to appear pressing to pursue a goal deficit.

“Tottenham played with a serious intensity that caused problems on our back line. In the second half, we were not even strong enough to handle the pressures they put into the heart of the defense,” said De Ligt.

Although disappointed, De Ligt continued to accept this result steadfastly. He gave his appreciation to the fans who have supported them so far.
