7 OUT OF 7
In the Netherlands, Francesco Farioli's team Ajax took the lead despite having one match less by beating Heracles 4-0. Farioli's incredible streak of 7 out of 7 has brought back the controversial remarks made by Sergen Yalçın, who belittled the Italian coach.
With this victory, Ajax increased its points to 54, taking the lead over PSV despite having one match less. Ajax has achieved 17 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in the 22 matches played in the league this season.
The team, which has won its last seven matches, reached 54 points for the first time since the 2021-2022 season. Farioli's emphasis on young talents and the positive impact of new transfers played a significant role in this success.
"HE BECAME A COACH JUST BECAUSE HE IS ITALIAN"
Former Beşiktaş coach Sergen Yalçın had criticized Farioli's appointment as Ajax's head coach. Using derogatory expressions about the Italian coach, Yalçın said, "Farioli was about to be a package, he saved himself with the Beşiktaş match. I can't believe he is the head coach of Ajax. He became a coach just because he is Italian. After making three passes from the back, the words 'wow, great coach, such a coach' started. He went to Nice, then went to Ajax. I can't believe it, it's a world comedy," he said.
