The Ajax coach can strike for a goal from his son

Historic Ajax is in crisis after suffering its first Eredivisie defeat on Sunday against Twente (3-1) and falling to 12th place in the table. Your technician, Maurice Steinis already on the ropes because he has just managed to win the first four games of the Dutch championship, but what is surprising about the case is that his son is one of the reasons for his delicate situation.

Sem Steijn was the scorer of Twente’s second goal in the 11th minute after his teammate Dean Roths opened the scoring just four minutes ago. Eventually Brian Brobbey reduced distance (35′), but Ünüvar was born scored against Ajax (79′).

Sem Steijn, who he wears 14 on his back, He is a 21-year-old playmaker who scored six goals in the Eredivisie last season and this season he has three after scoring a goal in the last three games. This is undoubtedly one of the keys for Twente to achieve overall victories and, with 12 points, shares the lead with PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar.

A fight where Maurice Steijn is now risking his continuity in the position that, at 47 years old, he assumed in June.
