Ihattaren’s Struggles Spark Criticism Following Ajax Defeat

omidbasir- Mohamed Ihattaren delivered a lackluster performance for Fortuna Sittard in their recent match against Ajax, which ended in a 4-1 defeat. Post-match, coach Danny Buijs expressed his dissatisfaction, highlighting the need for reflection on the player’s contributions. With increasing interest from Morocco, particularly from Wydad Casablanca, is now the right time for Ihattaren to consider a transfer?

The match on Saturday at the Johan Cruijff ArenA raised eyebrows, particularly due to the ease with which Fortuna Sittard succumbed to Ajax. Coach Danny Buijs was visibly frustrated during the post-match interview with ESPN.

During the winter transfer window, our transfer journalist Mounir Boualin reported that Ihattaren had attracted the attention of Wydad Casablanca, a club known for having prominent players like Nordin Amrabat and Hakim Ziyech. However, a substantial financial commitment would be required for a successful transfer.

Reactions from the Dutch audience on social media have largely supported Buijs’s critique, with many stating, “Ihattaren was rightly substituted as he was completely invisible on the field.” Fans voiced their expectations, emphasizing that he should be one of the players stepping up in crucial matches.
