Dutch sports editor, Bart Veenstra, has analyzed Mohammed Kudus' importance to Ajax following his outstanding display for the Dutch champions in the UEFA Champions League.
The Ghana international starred and was Man of the Match after scoring and providing an assist in the 4-0 thumping of Rangers at the Johan Cryuff Arena.
Veenstra in an editorial for Ajax Showtime explained Kudus adds dynamism and creativity to the Ajax team.
"At first you're going to wonder why he does that. Does he want an extra man in midfield, because Rangers also often play like that? In his interview, Schreuder indicated in advance that this was not the case and that he mainly opted for Kudus' prowess, drive and dynamism. And that's actually all happened. The choice for Kudus has therefore worked out well," he said.
"Then it is strange that you now ignore Brobbey, because Brobbey has done well in recent matches, but – as Schreuder has stated several times – Ajax has more than eleven basic players. I think there are about sixteen players at Ajax who are basic worthy. The season is also long, so I think it's good to look closely at who is fit and useful against the next opponent. For example, it may be that Brobbey is more useful in the Eredivisie, while Kudus is more useful in the Champions League. We also saw that with Tadic in the 2018/19 season and I think Kudus can fulfill that role as well," he added.
