Kasper Dolberg’s Role at Ajax Diminishes as Wout Weghorst Returns

omidbasir- In recent weeks, Kasper Dolberg has performed at an ‘acceptable’ level for Ajax in the absence of Wout Weghorst. However, with Weghorst’s recent return, it appears that the Danish striker is once again fading into the background.

During the match against FC Volendam, which ended in a 2-0 victory with both goals scored by Youri Baas, Weghorst made his comeback. In a discussion on Vandaag Inside, Johan Derksen remarked, “What this says about Ajax is that Weghorst, who arguably should never have worn an Ajax shirt, came back and was received with loud cheers. This reflects the current situation.”

Dolberg’s performance has been inconsistent. Brian Riemer, who had previously worked with Dolberg in Brussels, has commented on the striker’s injury susceptibility: “Let me reiterate: I was proud of our win against Antwerp after just one day of training. One cannot underestimate the impact of international matches. Kasper’s body, in particular, is very sensitive to doing things the right way. Those international fixtures do not benefit him. Kasper is also eager to win a title, something he has pursued multiple times. He is very committed, but his emotions are rarely on display. Therefore, for outsiders, it may appear differently.
