Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei te hiahia te kaiwhakahaere o Ajax a Frank de Boer ki te whai i te huarahi o Arsenal i te wa e hiahia ana te karapu Dutch ki te eke ki nga hauwhā o te Europa League. I miharo a De Boer ki te mahi a Arsenal i te wikitoria 2-0 Champions League ki a Monaco i te po o te Turei - ahakoa i patua nga Gunners i runga i nga whaainga o waho - me te hiahia kia whai a Ajax i te tauira. I kii a De Boer: 'Ko te huarahi i purei ai ratou ki a Monaco ko te huarahi e hiahia ana matou ki te purei. He pēhanga nui, hohoro te whakahoki mai i te pōro. He tino pai ki ahau te tākaro a Arsenal. Ka titiro ahau ki a rātau whāinga, i ētahi wā, he rite ki te whutupaoro. E haere ana, e neke ana, ā, he nui tonu te tere.' Ko te kaiwhakahaere o Ajax a Frank de Boer e tohu ana ki ana kaitakaro i te wa o te whakangungu i Amsterdam i te Wenerei.
