Mohamed Abdalla has been struggling with the pressure of playing for Jong Ajax, particularly after being benched for the first time. "The biggest blow was the first time I was left on the bench," Abdalla said. "My head was full of thoughts. I stayed in that disappointment for a few games, and you can see the effects on the pitch." Voetbalzone reports that Abdalla has learned to cope with the situation and is now trying to move forward. "I'm trying to deal with it as well as possible," he said. "I hope that in a while, I can say that this was good for my career." Abdalla has already made a name for himself in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, playing 22 games and scoring one goal and three assists.
