Ajax’s Costly Draw Against Excelsior: Fans Blame Interim Coach

Ajax unnecessarily dropped two valuable points in their 2-2 draw against Excelsior, impacting their pursuit of second place in the league. Many fans are attributing the blame to interim coach Fred Grim, as this is not the first time Ajax has faltered following his substitutions.

The substitution policy employed by Grim has once again backfired. Key players such as Kasper Dolberg, Rayane Bounida, and Sean Steur were replaced—among them was the young debutant Johnson. Following these changes, Ajax’s performance deteriorated, resulting in the loss of a two-goal lead. As a consequence, numerous Ajax supporters are calling for Grim’s dismissal, despite his initial appointment being intended to last until the end of the season.
