According to Buijs, Ihattaren's media presence is a distraction that could hinder his progress on the pitch. The trainer believes that the midfielder should focus on his football and keep a low profile. Voetbal International reports that Buijs has made this decision to protect Ihattaren from the negative consequences of his media appearances. Buijs has stated that Ihattaren has made comments in the past that have stuck with him for months, and he wants to prevent this from happening again. The trainer believes that Ihattaren should let his performances on the pitch speak for themselves, rather than seeking media attention. As a result, Ihattaren will no longer be available to the press for the time being.
