Ajax's development of Godts has been praised, but not everyone was convinced of his potential. Former Ajax coach Louis van Gaal doubted Godts' ability to succeed in the top European league, citing a lack of vision on the pitch. Van Gaal believed Godts didn't have enough vision.
However, Ajax's John Heitinga saw potential in Godts and worked with him to improve his vision. Heitinga's efforts paid off, as Godts went on to have a successful season at Ajax. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Heitinga said it's surprising that Godts was able to succeed despite initial doubts.
Godts' playing style has been criticised for involving too much running with the ball, which may have contributed to Van Gaal's initial doubts. Despite this, Godts has secured a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, a significant step up in his career.
