NEC manager Dick Schreuders responded in a pre-match interview before Ajax that outsiders should not take Dusan Tadic's previous comments about playing at NEC out of context.

Earlier this week, Dusan Tadic told NU.nl that his love for Ajax remains unchanged. Speaking about his current situation at NEC, he acknowledged finding it difficult to adapt to the team's playing rhythm.

"I often make runs before the attack starts, but the ball doesn't come. Sometimes I kick it a few times, but then it doesn't come back to me. Maybe my head is working too fast. It's difficult for me, and I often fall into self-hatred and my mind gets messy," Dusan Tadic said.

In response, Schreuders said: "When he was playing at Ajax, he certainly had very good teammates around him, so I understand his point to some extent. This is also related to how he expresses himself. These comments need to be taken in context."

"There's more to this than meets the eye, and it's not as simple as it appears. Multiple factors are at play. We want to stay calm and handle this smoothly, and we'll continue working on it tomorrow as well."

Schreuders denied the view that Tadic's comments had affected the atmosphere in the locker room. He said: "From what I see within the team, teammates are still sitting together eating and laughing. That's clear to me."

Schreuders also emphasized that NEC is in a new development phase, welcoming many new players and young prospects since the summer, with plenty still to improve and adjust. "Dusan Tadic is an important part of this process, as are Reijnders, Chery, Sander, and Nuitink. These players were acquired to help NEC grow. I see that with Dusan Tadic every day, and I don't see anything strange or inappropriate."
