Ajax headed into corona virus break sitting top of the table on goal difference over AZ Alkmaar.
However, with the season now cancelled, the KNVB have decided not to award any team the championship. However, Ajax head into the Champions League group stages, while AZ are in the qualifiers.
Speaking to Ajax Life, Dusan Tadic is frustrated, “You want to become champions every year and Ajax is now also at the top. Even under these circumstances you have to be declared champion. I think it’s great that the competition has stopped, but the number one is the number one.
“We have agreed rules with all clubs in advance. The rules say that the goal difference counts and not the mutual result. If we had mutually agreed on results, AZ would be the rightful champion. I would have liked to make our supporters happy with the trophy.”
Tadic doesn’t believe that awarding both Ajax and AZ the title is an option, “Both champions are not an option for me either, because a difference has been made. That difference is the target difference. And we have agreed that goal difference counts in case of a tie. Then it is very simple for me and Ajax must be declared the champion. This prize was taken from us. ”
