Marciano Vink has been critical of the quality and willingness at Ajax. He did this in the ESPN program Football talk. According to the analyst, it is best for Ajax to say goodbye to Gastón Ávila and Jakov Medić immediately.
“Ajax just didn’t play well again,” Vink begins. Ajax drew 2-2 against Excelsior in its own Johan Cruijff ArenA. Partly due to a red card from captain Steven Bergwijn, it became a difficult evening for the Amsterdam team. ‘If you now have a chance of knocking AZ out of fourth place or at least securing fifth place, you have quite a favorable program, and then it starts like this…’
According to the analyst, Ajax lacks a good dose of willingness. ‘Is it about quality, or is it about willingness? What do you prefer? Because nowadays willingness seems to take precedence over quality. Willingness is also a kind of mentality. The willingness that you see at PSV and Feyenoord, I have not seen at Ajax for almost the entire season,” said the analyst, who believes that willingness should be examined in the upcoming transfer period. ‘I do believe that targeted purchases should be made and that you should say goodbye to a number of players, such as Ávila and Medić. Those kinds of players who should complement the selection, but don’t.’
Future of Bergwijn and Berghuis
Steven Bergwijn and Steven Berghuis have also been associated with a departure from the capital for some time. Vink sees that there is certainly a future for the duo at Ajax. ‘They will also have to participate in the story of a Potter or whoever comes along. You see what happens to Bosz at PSV. The difference between last year and this season is intensity. It has been looked at: what does Feyenoord bring? We must at least match that. If you cannot find that willingness in your selection, you still have to make choices with guys who are willing. Everyone will have to join in if you want to join the top.’
