Alfred Schreuder believes Ajax's defeat against Napoli was not about Mohammed Kudus or Brian Brobbey but because the Serie A side are simply stronger.

WHAT HAPPENED? The Sons of the Gods suffered a 4-2 Champions League defeat against the Italian giants in their matchday four fixture last Wednesday.

However, they recovered to humiliate Excelsior 7-1 in an Eredivisie fixture at Johan Cruyff Arena on Sunday. Ghana international Mohammed Kudus came off the bench to score in the top-flight duel while Black Stars prospect Brian Brobbey grabbed two goals.

Schreuder has now defended his decision to play Kudus as a striker, insisting he has already proved his case with the number of goals he has scored in all competitions this campaign.
