The Dutch morning newspapers have been full of praise for Ajax's 2-0 win over Atalanta in the Conference League. According to VoetbalPrimeur, the newspapers have been impressed by the team's performance in the first half, with the team playing through the lines and creating chances with ease. The newspapers have also praised the team's ability to play with a sense of freedom and confidence, with Ajax finding a free man and combining well.

Tolu Arokodare and Abdellah Ouazane, the two substitutes who scored the goals, have received full praise from the newspapers. De Telegraaf described Arokodare as "setting the ArenA on fire" with his goal, while the Algemeen Dagblad called Ouazane a "publiekslieveling" (fan favourite). The newspapers have also praised the team's coach, Míchel Sánchez, for his tactics and the team's overall performance.

However, not all of the newspapers were impressed with the team's performance. De Telegraaf was critical of Marcos Leonardo, who was described as "opnieuw tegenvallend" (again disappointing). The newspaper also criticized Oscar Gloukh for his lack of scoring and his failure to notice chances for his teammates.

The next step for Ajax will be to build on this performance and continue to improve their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Conference League.
