Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit has publicly criticized Ajax manager Míchel Sánchez for keeping Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare on the bench, despite the forward’s recent goalscoring form.
The intervention highlights a growing debate regarding tactical decisions at the Eredivisie club, with Gullit expressing doubt about the rationale behind sidelining a player who has been in prolific scoring condition.
Gullit’s comments suggest that Arokodare’s current performance metrics warrant a starting role, challenging the manager’s current selection strategy for upcoming matches.
The situation places pressure on Sánchez to justify his squad management choices, particularly as Arokodare continues to demonstrate his ability to convert chances for the Dutch side.
