Despite Ajax's 2-1 victory over Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday, which brought them within three points of league leaders Feyenoord, Dutch media outlets have heavily criticized Israeli player Oskar Gloch following his substitution appearance. Gloch entered the match in the 60th minute, but his performance was deemed "catastrophic" by former player and current ESPN commentator Kees Kwakman.
Kwakman described Gloch as the "king of mistakes," noting numerous instances where the player failed to make simple passes. He further questioned Gloch's ability to impact the game, stating, "Simon Adingra is a fast player who can solve Ajax's problems. Can Gloch do that? No, he also lacks the ability to make deep runs in his game."
Local outlet VI echoed Kwakman's sentiments, highlighting his "catastrophic" assessment of the Israeli player's display. Meanwhile, Soccernews questioned if Gloch was in his "final months at Ajax," pointing to his weak performance and minimal contribution after coming on as a substitute. The outlet noted that dissatisfaction with Gloch is growing, but coach Michel still appears to believe in him, as evidenced by his continued playing time.
