He was first John van ‘t Schip’s favorite, but suddenly Ar’Jany Martha was replaced at Ajax. The coach of the first team criticized his attitude and no longer needed him. “The football world is hard,” says Martha after the 0-3 defeat against Telstar.
After the match against NEC (2-2), Van ‘t Schip was very critical of Martha. “We are at a professional club here, it is not a charity,” the trainer said about his way of playing. The trainer then decided not to take him to the match against Bodo/Glimt in the Conference League. “We’ll have to keep going,” says Martha.
During a conversation, Martha was told that he wanted to take a moment to stand still. “Then I was told it all. I respect what he said,” said the left back, who has suddenly become a much-discussed player. “You shouldn’t pay attention to that. You have to do it yourself.”
