Ajax Coach Oscar García Prepares for Challenging Match Against NAC Ajax’s head coach Oscar García is preparing his team for an away fixture against NAC Breda, expressing confidence in his squad’s ability to compete despite several key absences. The Spanish tactician confirmed that three players—Kian Fitz-Jim, Davy Klaassen, and Takehiro Tomiyasu—are unavailable for the match, with the latter facing a suspension. However, García highlighted positive developments, noting that Youri Regeer has resumed training with the group. The team’s last official match was a 3-0 victory over Heracles Almelo two weeks ago, during which García praised their dominance but emphasized the need to maintain focus. “We had control for much of the game and created several chances to extend the lead,” he said. “The key takeaway is that we must sustain this level of intensity in the remaining matches.” The break following the KNVB Cup final against AZ provided valuable time for tactical refinement. García explained that the team used this period to address specific aspects of their play, including a friendly against FC Twente to preserve match rhythm. “The training sessions allowed us to strengthen certain tactical elements and improve specific patterns, both with and without the ball,” he added. With four rounds of the Eredivisie season remaining, García noted the squad’s high motivation. “The overall feeling is that everyone is very positive and determined,” he said. “We know there’s still a lot at stake, and the team is fully focused on closing the season strongly.” García acknowledged the challenge posed by NAC, a team known for its competitiveness at home. “NAC is a fighting side that plays with energy and commitment,” he said. “They’ve achieved positive results against top-four teams, except against PSV.#ajax #oscar_garcia #nac_breda #knvb_cup #fc_twente
