Amsterdam's "Ajax" defender Frenkie De Jong after the unexpected victory in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals stated that it was easier to play in yesterday's quarterfinal match against Turin's "Juventus" than it was in the round of 16 against Madrid's "Real".
"It's hard to say if it was the best game of our lives, but everything went well. It was more difficult in the Spanish capital, because after the first game we had to chase the opponents.
"Juventus" is a very strong, disciplined team, while today in the second half we showed what we are capable of as well. The coach asked us to do the usual things in the clear - to play high and control the ball.
Can we triumph in the Champions League? We made it to the semifinals, we will have our chance, but we are not the favorites. Of course, there is always a possibility," - said F. de Jong.
