Ajax's Big-Spending Striker Fails to Deliver
According to VoetbalPrimeur, Ajax coach Míchel Sánchez has expressed concerns over the fitness level of Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo Santos Almeida, who was signed for nearly €20 million in the summer. The 20-year-old failed to impress in the 3-1 win over Shelbourne FC, looking off the pace throughout the game. Sánchez has stated that the team needs to work on Leonardo's physical condition, but remains confident that he will eventually start scoring goals.
Coach's Verdict
Sánchez has said, "The most important thing is that we all see that he's not in his best physical state. We need to work on that." He also added, "I'm not worried because he's not scoring. I'm sure he'll start scoring goals soon."
