Ihattaren’s Underwhelming Performance Against Ajax Sparks Criticism

omidbasir- Mohamed Ihattaren had a disappointing outing for Fortuna Sittard during their match against Ajax, which ended in a 4-1 defeat. In the aftermath, coach Danny Buijs expressed his dissatisfaction with the performance, questioning whether now is the right time for Ihattaren to consider a departure amidst increasing interest from Morocco.

The match at Johan Cruijff ArenA saw Ajax dominate, with Fortuna Sittard struggling significantly. This lack of resilience did not go unnoticed, and Buijs was visibly upset during his post-match interview with ESPN.

In the recent winter transfer window, our transfer journalist Mounir Boualin reported that Ihattaren has attracted attention from Wydad Casablanca, a club known for signing notable players like Nordin Amrabat and Hakim Ziyech. However, it is likely that Wydad will need to offer a substantial fee to secure his services.

Public sentiment on social media in the Netherlands reflects that Buijs’s criticism was justified. Many felt that his decision to substitute Ihattaren was warranted, with comments indicating that he was virtually invisible during the match. Fans believe he is the type of player who should rise to the occasion in such crucial games.
