And this is what Dutch newspapers say about the match from thursday.
Warning: it's not so pleasant for you guys.
"In een ode aan mooi esthetisch voetbal vernederde het elftal de verpeste profs van Newcastle"
>>> With an ode to beautiful esthetic football AZ humiliates the spoiled profs of Newcastle
"Aanval won van verdediging, teamverband versloeg individualisme, stijl troefde lelijkheid af, inzet schoof desinteresse terzijde."
>>> Offence wins from defence, team building beats individualism, elegant style trashes uglyness, strong effort pushed away lack of interest
"Armoedig oogde het spel van Newcastle, de club die elk jaar weer miljoenen ponden spendeert aan spelers van overal en nergens, maar nooit een plat prijsje wint. Bovendien was de ploeg hautain en lui."
>>> The performance of Newcastle was poor, the club that invests millions and millions of pounds every year in players from everywhere and nowhere but never winning a (small) price. On top of that the team was arrogant and lazy (note: well, you can stick this up .... )
"Het verschil tussen AZ en Newcastle is ook dat de Engelse ploeg geen vaste patronen kent. Het is toevalsvoetbal van over het paard getilde pseudo-vedetten, die parasiteren op hun talent."
>>> The difference between AZ and Newcastle is that the latter is lacking fixed patterns in their play. It is opportunistic football from puffed up pseudo stars, parasitizing on their talents
And than that coach of NU who is blaming the defence .... In holland we call that "ziende blind" or "there's none so blind as those who won't see"
