Šimunić: We gave our best but they are simply better

Dinamo players were disappointed after the loss in Amsterdam but very realistic.

One of the most experienced players, Josip Šimunić, after the game said: - We have to be honest and say that they crushed us. Ajax simply plays great football that's s joy to watch and all we can do is congratulate them. - Šimunić continued: - They play together for a long time, ever since they were kids and even though we gave our best they were better; they simply are a better side than us. It's not a shame when a great team like Ajax is a better team and we have to take positive things from this game. We have a young squad and matches like this are great for learning and developing as individuals and as a team. -

Midfielder Jerko Leko also had a lot of nice things to say about Ajax: - They play real "Ajax football" and that's beautiful; what can I say? All this movement without the ball, passing around and everything - they are simply great. For me, they play the best football in our group and I really hope they will go to the next round of the Champions league. -
