Kako Pantelić "lomi kičmu" defanzivcima

Iako je De Jong postigao dva gola za Ajaks protiv Fejenorda u prvom meču finala Kupa Holandije (2:0), o potezu Marka Pantelića i dalje se priča u zemlji "lala". Naime, srpski reprezentativac je u 39. minutu meča "slomio kičmu" defanzivcu roterdamskog kluba Flaru, a potom umalo lobovao protivničkog golmana.

"Šta da kažem osim, da mi je to bio jedan od najlepših poteza u karijeri.Flar kao da je iz džipa ispao, ne zamerite što se smejem. Kočio je, kočio i nije uspeo da ukoči u pravi čas, zaustavio se pet metara iza mene, tada sam "bocnuo" loptu, koja je potom pala na mrežu, pritom je bilo zanimljivo gledati rekaciju golmana Fejenorda. Da je to, kojim slučajem, uradio Mesi, evropski mediji bi verovatno danima brujali, a ja sam svojevremeno bio svedok kada su ovakve stvari izvodili i Riznić i Vignjević, neprevaziđeni na popularnom petoparcu."

Pantelić "najavio novu sezonu"

Centarfor reprezentacije Srbije i član amsterdamskog Ajaksa, Marko Pantelić ovih dana imao je i dodatna zaduženja. Od celokupne postave "kopljanika", Pantelić je uz Sima de Jonga izabran da predstavi novu kolekciju dresova, koju će igrači najtrofejnijeg holandskog kluba nositi u sezoni 2010/11. Pantelić, koji će gotovo sigurno otići na leto iz Amsterdama, uz De Jonga je promovisao dresove u oficijalnoj Ajaksovoj prodavnici.

Ajaks je još uvek u trci za dva trofeja u Holandiji. Vodeći Tvente kolo pre kraja ima prednost od jednog boda, dok su u prvoj finalnoj utakmici nacionalnog kupa, igrači Ajaksa pobedili Fejenord sa 2:0.

Ajax puts on the pressure with win

Ajax defeated Willem II, 2-0, on Wednesday evening. Thanks to the win, Ajax is now only one point behind leader FC Twente with only a few matches left in the regular competition. With two games to go, the battle for the championship is heating up.

One day after leader FC Twente lost at AZ, Ajax’s task was simple: to win. A victory over Willem II was the only way to take full advantage of Twente’s loss. The difference between the two top ranked teams, with only two rounds left, has been reduced to one point. “This is a catch up race like we’ve never seen before”, said Ajax coach Martin Jol of the steady build-up during the last weeks.

The night began well for Ajax in Tilburg. After just two and a half minutes, referee Van Boekel awarded a penalty shot to Luis Suarez, after an infraction by Willem II defender Schenkel. The penalty kick was a piece of cake for Suarez, who scored his 33rd competition goal. The captain sprinted to the visitors stands afterwards, to celebrate the goal with the fans, who instantly forgot the long traffic jams they endured on their way to Tilburg.

Eyong Enoh returned from his suspension for the match against Willem II, relegating Gabri, who had replaced him during his absence, to the bench. Urby Emanuelson, who scored on Sunday, was out due to ankle pains. Partly due to this, Jol gave winger Rommendahl a spot on the squad. With the Dane on right flank, Ajax had a battery of chances during the first half. But the precision, finesse, or perhaps simple decisiveness was missing every time. Willem II answered with a hustle from Demouge and a header from Schenkel, but Stekelenburg wasn’t fazed either time.

But since the lead at halftime was narrow, Willem II, with loaned out Ajax players Jan-Arie van der Heijden and Mitchell Donald, wasn’t beaten yet. Even though the number 17 ranked team had lost its last four matches, the score at halftime still allowed the Tricolores some hope, despite

After an hour of play, Marko Pantelic assured Ajax’s twelfth competition win in a row. The Serbian player, who until then hadn’t had luck on his side, received a perfect pass from Rommendahl, and the forward brought the score to 2-0. “It’s not as easy as you’d think”, was Jol’s reaction to the second late goal. “This kind of away match isn’t always easy to win, although it’s true that Willem II didn’t have much of a chance to beat us”, continued the coach, who admitted to watching AZ-Twente on Tuesday with a dose of ‘healthy, but sometimes too much, nervous excitement’. The score didn’t change during the last half hour, leaving Ajax to aim for the magic frontier of one hundred goals (after Willem II, the count stands at 98) on Sunday’s home match against Heracles Almelo.
The impressive number of goals is just a side track of the intensely exciting championship race. The season’s finale will be a thriller. The last two matches, with Ajax facing the Cup final against Feyenoord in between, FC Twente must win both times (at home against Feyenoord, and away at NAC) to keep Ajax at bay. A false move can be fatal. Ajax, of course, must also win twice in this scenario; Sunday at home against Heracles, and May 2 away at NEC. Thanks in part of the ‘bonus point’ thanks to their higher goal count, Ajax can legitimately hope for their first national championship since 2004. A championship which, just like in 2002, would be played out at NEC Nijmegen.

“I hope we get the championship”, was Jol’s answer to the questions about Ajax’s strong title chances. “I think Twente may still gamble some points away. Just as I think PSV will also let points go.”

Nova dva gola Marka van Pantelara

Fudbaleri Ajaksa savladali su u Amsterdamu ekipu Heraklesa sa 4:0 u utakmici 33. kola prvenstva Holandije, a dva pogotka za domaćina postigao je Marko Pantelić.

Reprezentativac Srbije, koji je u sredu protiv ekipe Venlo zabeležio het-trik, danas je protivničku mrežu zatresao u 59. i 64. minutu.

Strelac prva dva pogotka za amsterdamske "kopljanike" bio je Siem de Jong u 20. i 37. minutu.

Ajaks je ostao u trci za titulu prvaka, pošto i dalje ima bod manje od vodećeg Tventea koji je danas savladao Fejnord sa 2:0.

Pantelić je u dosadašnjem toku sezone za Ajaks postigao 17 golova u 30 utakmica.

Suarez and Pantelic show Ajax the way

Ajax posted their eleventh straight Eredivisie win on Sunday. Martin Jol’s team had a relatively easy win over VVV Venlo in the Amsterdam ArenA, 7-0. Luis Suarez and Marko Pantelic each scored three times. With three rounds to go, Ajax remains hot on the heels of leader Twente.

One week after their hard fought in Den Haag (0-1), Ajax enjoyed a relatively easy afternoon. VVV-Venlo, who hasn’t won a single away game this season, didn’t hold out hope for long that today’s game would be their first. By the twelfth minute, the team from Limburg were already 3-0 down. Moreover, there was good news for Ajax from Eindhoven, as number three PSV had left two points on the table against Feyenoord (0-0).

After five minutes, Luis Suarez opened the score against VVV. Ajax’s captain has been hunting for his thirtieth goal for a few weeks. He remained at 29 against FC Groningen and ADO, and Sunday he finally got number thirty. A good free kick hit the mark and gave Ajax the early lead. Just minutes before, VVV had aggressively been pushing toward the Ajax goal. But Maarten Stekelenburg was in Achmed Ahahaoui’s way.

Barely five minutes after his opening goal, Suarez had the ArenA cheering again. On his way to the goal, VVV defender Niels Fleuren tugged on his shirt on the edge of the penalty kick area, and referee Danny Makkelie awarded Ajax a penalty. The Uruguayan top scorer made good on his opportunity: 2-0.

Suarez’s quick goals were followed up within fifteen minutes. Marko Pantelic manoeuvred away from opponent Ferry de Regt, and the Serbian player then brought his team to a 3-0 lead. Before the break, the score went up even further to 5-0. In the 38th minute, Pantelic, on a pass from Suarez, passed the ball to Urby Emanuelson, who then scored a goal of his own. Four minutes later, Ajax’s top scorer Suarez scored his third of the afternoon. He easily outplayed keeper Ruud Boffin, who was passed for the fifth time within forty five minutes: 5-0.

During the second half, Gabri - in for the suspended Eyong Enoh– made his own attempt to increase the score. With the remaining competition matches against Willem II (away), Heracles Almelo (home) and NEC (away), plus the cup final against Feyenoord on the agenda, Ajax could afford the luxury of taking it easy with this generous lead of five goals.

Substitutes Nicolas Lodeiro and Christian Eriksen gave Ajax a second wind in the last 25 minutes. Lodeiro set up his countryman Suarez in front of the keeper a few times, and he made a good attempt from a free kick. Fifteen minutes before time, he had a hand in a goal, after he handily sent Pantelic in deep. The Ajax forward’s shot hit the mark, sailing past VVV’s post: 6-0. A few minutes later, the Serbian international attacked again. On a pass from Jan Vertonghen, man of the match Pantelic earned his own hat trick, in addition to Suarez’s.

“A pleasant surprise”, said Jol of the deluge of goals that Ajax unleashed onto VVV. “It’s just as shame that we ‘only’ scored two in the second half.” This said it all about the relative strength of Ajax and VVV. Venlo coach Jan van Dijk admitted as much during the press conference. “I don’t have much to say, just as we didn’t have much to say on the field. I think we were given a lesson this afternoon.”
With three matches left, number two Ajax trails leader FC Twente by four points. Ajax pays a midweek visit to Willem II on Wednesday, while Twente will face a tough away match against AZ one day earlier. “The battle’s not over yet”, said Jol afterwards. “Twente faced a difficult away game at AZ. They are after all the champion, and they have a few dangerous forwards. As well, we are ahead of PSV by three points, and have a much better goal difference. That’s a stroke of luck, too.”

Antić zna sa nama

Marko Pantelic u poslenje vreme dozivljava drugu mladost! Njegove odlicne partije za reprezentaciju i Ajax nisu prosle neprimeceno, a sve to je dobar znak za Munidijal koji pocinje za nesto manje od mesec dana!

U izjavi za internet portal spox.com, Marko nije stedio reci hvale za svoje sunarodnjake i saigrace iz reprezentacije. 

"Mi imamo perfektan miks - sa jedne strane tu su mladi i talentovani, a sa druge su tu iskusni igraci. Najzvucnija imena su Dejan Stankovic, Nemanja Vidic, Branislav Ivanovic i oni imaju najbolji period u svojim karijerama. Taj odlican spoj iskustva i mladosti je jedna od jaci strana "orlova". Osim toga, srpski igraci su psihicki i fizicki veoma jaki."

Pantelic smatra da je selektor najzasluzniji za uspeh "orlova" i da je upravo on najjaca snaga tima. 

"On je veoma uspesan strucnjak, sa puno harizme. Srbija je oduvek imala odlicne pojedince, ali je problem bio sve njih uklopiti u jedan tim.  To je uspeo Antic.  On uvek ima prave reci za nas. Yna kako da svakog od nas odrzi srecnim", zakljucio je Pantelic u svojoj izjavi.
