Myron Boadu says AZ lost a third title to Covid in 2020

Sprekend vanuit a quiet studio in Amsterdam, Myron Boadu reflected that AZ would have secured a third Eredivisie title in 2019‑20 if the Covid outbreak had not halted the competition, recalling his own role as the club’s top scorer under manager Arne Slot and his modest contribution to PSV’s recent league triumph.

In the 2019‑20 season Boadu emerged as AZ’s top scorer, netting more goals than any of his teammates while playing under manager Arne Slot. His tally placed him at the forefront of the Alkmaarders’ attack during a campaign that saw the club challenge for the championship.

That season the Alkmaarders found themselves neck‑and‑neck with Ajax, trading points at the summit of the table as the two clubs vied for the Eredivisie‑titel. The tight race kept both sides in contention until the final weeks.

The sudden COVID‑uitbraak forced the league to be suspended, ending the season prematurely and denying AZ a possible third league title. The interruption left the Alkmaarders’ aspirations unfulfilled despite their strong position.

PSV captured the Eredivisie‑titel last season, and Boadu’s limited appearances added a small but noticeable impact to the champions’ campaign. Though his minutes were few, his involvement was highlighted by the striker as a modest but valuable input.
