When Vangelis Pavlidis left AZ Alkmaar in the summer, everyone was curious about how the team would perform without him. But after playing six games in the 2024/2025 season, AZ Alkmaar has been on fire, scoring 16 goals, only conceding two, and winning five games. It’s safe to say they are managing just fine without their former star striker.
In a recent match against PEC Zwolle, Ibrahim Sadiq stole the show by scoring two goals, leading AZ Alkmaar to a 2-1 victory. Sadiq, a talented player from Ghana, has already scored four goals this season, surpassing his previous record from last year. Another key player, Troy Parrot, has also scored four goals, although all of his came in a single game against Heerenveen. Sadiq has not only been scoring goals but also providing assists, with three to his name so far. It’s clear that the 24-year-old is really stepping up this season.
Looking ahead, AZ Alkmaar will be hoping to continue their impressive form as they kick off their Europa League campaign against Elfsborg. After that, they will face FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie next weekend. The team is determined to maintain their winning streak and show that they are a force to be reckoned with in both domestic and continental competitions.
