Israeli Midfielder Oscar Gloukh Shines Despite Ajax Draw
Ajax drew 2-2 with Excelsior on Saturday, a disappointing result for Oscar Gloukh and his teammates who were outplayed for much of the match but failed to secure a win. Despite the draw, the Israeli midfielder's performance drew significant attention from fan pages.
AjaxLife, a fan page, noted Gloukh's inefficiency in scoring, with seven shots resulting in no goals. However, they attributed this to bad luck, citing two crucial saves by the opposing goalkeeper and a shot hitting the post. The page concluded that Gloukh, who provided an assist, was still an excellent player.
Another fan page, TogetherAjax, praised Gloukh's physical qualities and his involvement in the game, which saw Ajax take over 30 shots. They highlighted his near-goal when his shot struck the post and expressed regret that he did not score.
KlasseAjax awarded Gloukh the highest rating on the team, an 8, calling his assist "tremendous" and identifying him as the team's most dangerous player. While acknowledging he didn't score, they stated he was the most threatening and best player on the field, predicting he would bring much more to Ajax if he continued to play at this level.
