Huntelaar: "I wanted to know if Dusan was in the game, I was ready"

Klaas Jan Huntelaar did not score a goal in Ajax's win in the Champions League against AEK Athens on Tuesday night, but was of great value in as a substitute. He granted a 0-2 pass to Dusan Tadic and also wanted to take the penalty.

Tadic broke the penalty spot in the second half. Huntelaar visited him before. "We talked briefly because I also took a penalty," says the striker at Ajax Life. "Tadic is at the top of the list and Lasse is number 2. I wanted to know if Dusan was in the race, he was not feeling well, so I was ready." Moments later, he became 0-2. "I had the ball a bit too straight to shoot straight, when I thought about scoring, but I saw some one coming off my left corner and I 've played, your instinct tells me to shoot and I really had to suppress that feeling, but in the end the other was decisive. "
