THE’Ajax he got up immediately. The 2-0 defeat against Real Sociedad in the Europa League was a mistake in the league spearmen they immediately regained the victory against NEC 2-1 and the absolute protagonist of the afternoon was Wout Weghorst. The Dutch center forward, however, did not take the substitution used by the coach very well Francesco Farioli in the 68th minute of the match.
A deep sigh – we read above AD.nl -, his head turned and his hands running through his hair when he was asked post-match how he had made the substitution: “If I was the coach and my striker was on the pitch in the 65th minute with two goals, I wouldn’t I would replace”, said match-winner Weghorst bluntly. “We talk about it, of course. Then I say what I think. I like playing ninety minutes and getting hurt. I’ve always done that during my career. So this is new for me. But this is Farioli’s choice, his tactics. He He has his philosophy and I have mine.”
Once he offered his point of view, however, Weghorst pointed out that he had not questioned his coach’s choices: “It’s not about being right. It’s about Ajax’s interest and what works. At the moment this works. With this we win matches,” he concluded.
