Ajax's Oscar Gloukh Earns Rave Reviews in Dutch Media

Ajax Amsterdam continued to build confidence following a challenging start to the season, with Dutch media particularly impressed by their dominant 5-1 victory over Willem II on Tuesday. Israeli midfielder Oscar Gloukh was a standout performer, contributing a goal and an assist in the match.

Freke Janssen, editor-in-chief of Voetbal International, praised Gloukh's dynamic play during a podcast, noting his ability to "do one action after another." Janssen expressed his enjoyment of Ajax's attacking freedom and their ability to score two impressive goals just before halftime, setting the tone for a commanding performance. He highlighted the team's complete control, evidenced by 90 touches in the opponent's penalty area, and stated this is the style of attacking football fans expect from Ajax.

Janssen's podcast co-host, Arko Nyukui, agreed, reminiscing about the traditional Ajax style of play that prioritized relentless attacking. He suggested that fans would even be upset if the team failed to consistently threaten the opposition's goal.

This latest win marks Ajax's second consecutive 5-1 league victory, following a similar triumph over Fortuna Sittard. The Amsterdam club has now scored 19 goals in six league matches and an additional 22 goals in their Conference League qualifying games. Ajax will look to maintain this momentum when they host Excelsior on Saturday before the international break.
