NEC Aims for Champions League Qualification Despite Ajax’s Impact

omidbasir- NEC is fully committed to dethroning Ajax and Feyenoord in the race for a Champions League ticket this season. Nevertheless, Ajax has dealt a significant blow to NEC, as noted by Henk Spaan.

In a recent development, Ajax secured the top talent Paulo da Silva. At the close of the transfer window, NEC declined to sell Kodai Sano to Ajax or Nottingham Forest. Spaan reported in Het Parool that Michel Boekhoorn, associated with NEC, stated on ESPN, “Ajax had no chance financially of acquiring NEC’s coach, Dick Schreuder, should they have desired to do so.”

Boekhoorn further elaborated during his ESPN appearance, saying, “Dick Schreuder has signed a three-year contract with us, is thoroughly enjoying his time here, and is performing excellently. He will remain with us for the next three years.” When presenter Milan van Dongen suggested that a significant financial offer could change the situation, Boekhoorn rebutted, asserting, “That doesn’t matter; there’s no chance whatsoever.”
