Ajax won no less than 5-0 against the very poor Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday evening in the group stage of the Europa League. Football zone As usual, assesses the basic players and the players who played at least 45 minutes in Amsterdam with a grade.
Remko Pasveer: 7
Anton Gaaei: 8
The Danish right back missed almost every opportunity to move up the right flank. Partly because of this, Ajax regularly threatened the goal of poor Maccabi Tel Aviv, especially before half time. Gaaei had a very difficult time last season under Maurice Steijn and John van ‘t Schip, but seems to have completely blossomed under Francesco Farioli. In any case, this performance strengthens his claim for the right back position.

Youri Baas: 7.5

Owen Wijndal: 6,5
Kian Fitz-Jim: 8
Branco Van den Boomen: 7
Kenneth Taylor: 7,5
Bertrand Traoré: 8
The fast wing attacker scored the 1-0 after fifteen minutes, after good preparatory work by Brobbey. In the remainder of the first half, the winger remained pretty much the most dangerous attacker of Ajax, which had almost nothing to fear from the disappointing Maccabi Tel Aviv. Ten minutes after the break, Traoré was unlucky when his shot from inside the box was cleared off the line.

Brian Brobbey: 8
Brobbey was important as a referee in Traoré’s 1-0. After 27 minutes, the striker had a nice backheel in store for Kenneth Taylor, who made it 2-0 for Ajax. Shortly before the half-time signal, Brobbey made it 4-0, but the hard-working attacker was unable to score from close range. “He is playing his best first half for Ajax,” said Wesley Sneijder Ziggo Sports praising Brobbey at halftime. After the break, Brobbey blasted a free kick from inside the sixteen against the ropes, after which the Johan Cruijff ArenA exploded.

Mika Godts: 8.5
The Belgian wing attacker was the big hero against PSV on Saturday and also scored his goal against Maccabi Tel Aviv. As a result, Ajax went to rest with a very comfortable 3-0 lead. Shortly afterwards, Godts had made it 4-0, if his effort had not gone just wide of the goal. ”He plays with confidence. He can also hand it over to Brobbey, but he still goes himself,” said Ronald de Boer Ziggo Sports about Godts. “It smells a bit like Thierry Henry,” added reporter Wytse van der Goot.
