COPENHAGEN (Ekstra Bladet): If Lasse Schöne is currently running around with a little extra confidence in the tank, nobody will blame him in it.
Good enough led Ajax to a silly defeat to AZ in the weekend, but with five points up to the PSV, as you meet in the next match, is the Dutch team still in both the Dutch league, cup and Champions League.
– We are in pokalfinalen, we are further in the Champions League and can make us in the league. So far it’s great, but we just have not won anything yet, beats Schöne fixed above for the Extra Magazine.
The Danish midfielder has been given permission to tell you about a very special battle a number of times in recent weeks, but as he says himself, it’s not something he gets tired of provisionally.
For he would rather than like to report on the march evening two weeks ago, where Ajax beat the mighty Real Madrid, with the whole of 4-1 in their own den, and secured the advancement to the Champions League quarter-finals.
– It is a fantastic stadium, and I have played on it before, but it is a little more fun when you win. It was great to be able to play such a wild backdrop perfectly still.
– We could feel that they were very shook after the first scoring. There was irritation between the Real Madrid players, it was obvious. It was not only because we won, but it was also the way we did it. We were spillemæssigt much better. It is a night I will remember back on for a long time. A great night, says the dane.
he came on the board with a stunning free-kick for 4-1, but in the hours after the victory, he felt a little misunderstood. For it was thus supposed, that the ball was up in the corner. the
– There was evidently some who misunderstood what I said after the fight, but it was a kick on goal. And I managed also to report to the Hakim (Ziyech, ed.), which, thankfully, got to say it to the press, laughing Schöne and adds:
– So I would like to make it very clear now: It was supposed!

Unique record
Since 2012 Schöne played in Ajax, and the last seven years has led a ton of matches with him. Even so many, that he in the end of February could call itself the holder of the record for the most matches by a foreign player in Ajax.
– I am not so much up in the statistics, and if you ask me how many goals I scored last season, I have no idea.
– But being the foreign player with the most matches in a club like Ajax.. It is something I will appreciate for a long time. And so it is only fat that I nibbled it from a countryman (Søren Lerby, red.) I hope that it will keep for many years yet, says Schöne, there is hope that he can continue to offer care according to national coach Åge Hareides starting lineup.
– I must show that I will be among the first 11, and I have now done for many years, so I am used to. It is not new for me. I have played in recent matches, and I think I have done well, but it doesn’t matter. I need to work hard on, he says.
