The directors Alex Kroes and Marijn Beuker stand for this decision. Apart from their function, they have no right to speak. But in the absence of any football know -how in the organization, it is their task or Heitinga after the earwash in France is the one who gets Ajax working with the current player material.
Marco van Basten and Wesley Sneijder destructive about Ajax: ‘Bunch of sleep heads’
In Marseille things went wrong and it turned out that Heitinga could have looked better what old classics could have looked back in the preparation for Olympique Marseille. The danger Igor Paixao would then be better classified than Tuesday was the case in the southern French port city.
The former Feyenoorder Velde Velde the judgment in the first thirteen minutes of Olympique Marseille-Ajax. With two beautiful goals, the Brazilian of thirty million euros even improved his beautiful statistics such as Feyenoorder against Ajax with four goals in six classics.
Igor Paixao shoots immediately
Ajax had 85% possession after five minutes of play, but the first time L’A for seriously came over the center line it was hit by Paixao. Seven minutes later, captain Davy Klaassen went wrong and scored Paixao 2-0 while Ajax still had 60% possession. In the 26th minute it was 3-0. Steven Berghuis delivered the ball to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mason Greenword without looking at the last station. After the break, Aubameyang took care of 4-0.
What did Ajax do in Marseille? Nothing. The shameful premier league match against NAC was still won, against Olympique Marseille the number three in the Netherlands won like a headless chicken through the Vélodrome. Only hoping for Paixao & Co’s Clementia. Were the hot-headed fans on the Côte d’Azur initially skeptical about the record purchase, with two goals against his favorite opponent Ajax, he was definitively heated in the arms by the Marseille supporters.

Such a status is not reserved for any Ajax player, not for Heitinga nor for the football directors Kroes and Beuker. They were the only board representatives in Marseille. The rest of the club management was solidarity with the Ajax fans, who were not welcome for security reasons.
It prevented stretching flute concerts such as against NAC. This Saturday the fans are welcome at the castle if Ajax defends the unbeaten status in the Eredivisie against Sparta.
With the statistics in your hand you could still downen the fall of Ajax in the peillless depth. In the Champions League, Ajax can lose from Internazionale and Olympique Marseille. In addition, a third place in the Eredivisie without defeat, with four wins and three equal games against, among others, champion PSV is not so bad. But you have small lies, big lies and statistics. The figures hide the actual story of the dramatic game level of Ajax this season without one victory outside Amsterdam. With the competition it gets worse.
How to proceed?
How further is the big question? What is the alternative with a Heitinga dismissal? The trainer has a lot of contact with technical director Kroes, who has brought Heitinga in this plight with a selection that is up. Is Kroes than the man who can make a credible decision about Heitinga? What worsens the mess is the lack of healthy football know -how.
Ajax is controlled in all respects. Even the best steeringmen ashore are missing to unleash a new velvet revolution. Only such a revolution can still save Ajax’s season.
