Israeli midfielder Oskar Gloch is facing criticism in the Netherlands following a disappointing performance for Ajax. After a lackluster showing with the Israeli national team, Gloch was substituted in the 60th minute of Ajax's 1-1 draw against NEC Nijmegen on Saturday. His 17-year-old teammate who competes for the same position, has been receiving significant praise.
Former Danish international and current commentator Kenneth Perez sharply criticized the transfer fee paid for Gloch, reportedly between 11 and 12 million euros. With Gloch, it's nice to watch and looks good, but his shots are weak like a child's. Nothing comes of them," Perez stated.
Perez also commented on Ajax's sporting director, Jordi Cruyff, acknowledging his good work during the transfer window but identifying a crucial deficiency in the team's play, which he appears to attribute partly to Gloch. "The squad is missing something essential that other teams have, speed and depth," Perez explained. "Ajax doesn't have that at all. They have the ideal striker to build the game around (Tolu Arokodare), but they make wrong decisions. Everyone makes imaginary depth movements to get the ball."
Ajax's next match is scheduled for Thursday, when they will face HNK Hajduk Split of Croatia in the opening round of the Conference League.
