Summary: Anto is joined by Dutch football contributor Mohamed Moallim who writes for FourFourTwo to take a look at a remarkable Eredivisie season and European campaign after a wild night in the Europa League. Only AZ remains alive at this stage, but each of the teams have big questions as the business end of the season heats up where six teams are all in firing distance for the top two slots in Holland and each club has a rather fascinating story to tell. We start with AZ who by sheer force of will and fortune knocked out Udinese on an away decider after going down to 10 men and then over to PSV Eindhoven where new manager and club legend Phillip Cocu has taken the reigns from Fred Rutten to lead his team down the stretch as both audition and candidate for Dutch honors. But the story at the moment is Gertjan Verbeek at AZ where the storylines are both brilliant and improbable as he leads the Dutch table and is now the flag bearer for the Eredivisie in Europa. Loads here on the coaching carousel at PSV, the ongoing tactical impatience of Steve McClaren at FC Twente and whether AFC Ajax stands to be in the best position given that midweek football for AZ will continue to provide ample distraction as Frank de Boer looks to repeat title fortunes. We also spend some time looking at Ajax in the NextGen series at a pair of new developing stars in Viktor Fischer and Davy Klaassen and what seems to be driving their early success and their prospects in the months and years ahead. This is a debut episode for Mo and it has loads of inside analysis and will get you primed for a remarkable finish to an Eredivisie season filled with wonderful stories and the potential for a most dramatic finish, maybe one of the best title chases in years in any European league.
