Heitinga has given another face to Ajax, who have won two consecutive games after seven without adding three, and also to Dusan Tadic. The captain, in these two games with the new coach, has scored two goals and has assisted on three goals.
With Heitinga, the Serbian is another. A key factor is position. Tadic, used to playing in various positions with Schreuder but, above all, on the right wing, has played as a false 9 in these two games. In that position he dazzled Europe in 2018-19, playing with his back turned and distributing the game to his teammates who appear face to face.
In numbers, Tadic is one of the best in the league in terms of offensive creation. For example, He is the one who has made the most passes that have resulted in a shot (21), the one who has created the most chances (92) and the one who has given the most assists (12). All this with an important difference compared to the second.
Tadic was being one of Ajax’s most criticized men this season. His indisputable vitola caused him to receive criticism in most of the country’s sports gatherings. However, he always had the character to defend himself. Days ago, he said: “I was the player with the most goals and assists in the last four leagues and I will be again this year. And I will be every year that I keep playing”. “I don’t want to sound arrogant, but some people criticize for criticizing’s sake”sentenced.
