Froholdt also took time to praise the fans. “We would never be here without the fans. They were with us when we won and when we suffered. It’s great to win and give this to the people after a few years without trophies. I hope everyone can celebrate.”
Froholdt also praised the tactical mind of coach Francesco Farioli. “The coach kept us united all season. He was great tactically. It’s very well deserved on his part. Last year, he couldn’t do it with Ajax; now he has. He can be very proud of himself.”
