Heitinga sees the downside of 'Ajax football' against PEC: 'After the break we became sloppy'

John Heitinga Believes That Ajax’s Play Before Half -Time Against PEC Zwolle Should Be the Standard. However, the coach of the Amsterdam team Did See A Downside After The 3-1 Victory in the Johan Cruijff Arena. “It demands a high intensity.”

In a Match with Two Faces, coach Heitinga Sees A Sometimes Swinging Team Before Half-Time, Playing ‘Ajax-Football’ As HE Envisions IT. Mika Godts is an Example of the Greater Freedom that the Forwards Experience Compared to Under Coach Francesco Faroli, Who Left for Porto. But the significant decline in the second half illustrates that ajax is searching for the iDeal balance.

Mika Godts had leg biting his tongue in recent weeks. Last Season, he was Sometimes The Only Winger, The Twenty-Year-Old Belgian Says in the Catacombs of the Johan Cruijff Arena. Now, Heitinga Has Multiple Options, Especiate After the Arrival of Spanish Winger Raúl Moro, Who Remained on the Bench on Saturday. “Competition is part of ajax, I also had to come back from an injury,” Says Godts.

After a glittering first half of the season last year, Godts had to learn to deal with the high expectations. “I was a nineteen-year-hold, a lot sauddenly came at me. Fortunately, I have a mental coach and good people around me who helped me that. I had to live to filter and Sometimes ignore social media. I also in the summer married.”

Ajax Wants To Move Forward More Than Under Fararoli

Under Heitinga, Ajax is Tryping to Think More Forward Thanward Than Last Season Under The Direction of Italian Faroli, Who Transformed His Selection Into A Fighting Machine. “We had a great season, in which Fararoli Really made us play as a team. Tactically, it was strong, now we are still trying to play as ajax. Attacking and with a little more freedom.”

For Example, Godts and Steven Berghuis Alternated on the Flanks and then behind Striker Wout Weghorst on Saturday Against PEC Zwolle. “Or course, that’s nice for a striker,” Godts Admits. Hey also looks provoked after his goal, with which he puts ajax at 2-0 in the first half. He makes a gesture with his hand that people should not talk about him. “But that’s not how it was meean.”

Ajax coach Heitinga Didn’t See It, But Calls the Young Belgian to Account Afterwards. “Mika is an emotional boy, but I’ll not see this,” Says Heitinga. “It was Purely Personal, There’s Nothing Behind It. I Really Enjoyed Today,” Says Godts.

Like the assist to Davy Klaassen for the first goal, who also finishes it nicely with a chip as ‘mister 1-0’. “We feel each other well and davy did it beautifully.”

Conversely, Godts Benefits Maximally from the work of right-back Anton Gaaei, Who Serves the Belgian Left Winger after a sliding tackle. With the 3-1, he Prevents Ajax from Still Suffering Damage After a Carefree First Half. “Mika was Threatening, he has so much potential,” Says Heitinga.

Heitinga also saw the downside or ajax’s more frivolous game. “In The First Half, we entertained the public, but it also requests a high intensity. We should have scored more. After half time, we Became sloppy and made too many Mistakes.”

Heitinga is still mainly puzzling with his midfield

In His Second Period as Coach of Ajax, Heitinga is Still Mainly Puzzling with the Midfield; His team does not yet look balanced. Especiate the experienced Jordan Henderson is missed as a controller, but as a big earner, The Brit was a directed to the exit. On Friday, Heitinga Acknowleded that Ajax’s Transfer Policy was Mainly Dominated by Financial Choices. “The club needs to get healthy again, that comes first.”

The Salary Structure had to be slimmed down. And so Heitinga Accepts That Ajax has not found an iDeal Successor for Henderson. However, he Doesn’t Have Much Time to Experiment. On Wednesday, Internazionale Awaits in the Champions League, and on Sunday, The Cracker Against Reignning Champion PSV is on the Schedule in Eindhoven.

Godts is Already Looking Forward to the Duels with Orange International Denzel Dumfries, Who Patrols The Right Flank at Inter As if he were on a moped. “I hope denzel has to chase me more than I have to chase him,” Godts sayes laughing. “Inter is on a different level than pec. It will really have to be much better to be able to compete with such a top team.”

The Solution is Simple, Says Heitinga. “We will have to play on Wednesday as in the First Half Against Pec.”
