Other allegations against Mislintat

Dutch champions Feyenoord Rotterdam clearly won the match against their arch-rivals Ajax Amsterdam, who were abandoned in the 55th minute on Sunday when the score was 3-0. After the remaining 35 minutes of play were made up on Wednesday at 2 p.m., the score was 4-0 for the visitors in front of empty stands. The Eredivisie’s top scorer, Santiago Gimenez (22nd), added a third goal (59th) to his double in the first half (9th; 18th). Igor Paixão (37th) ensured a comfortable half-time lead on Sunday.

For Ajax, it was the heaviest home defeat since the introduction of the Eredivisie in 1956. It was only in the Champions League against SSC Napoli last year (1:6 ) that since then there has been a more bitter slap in the face in front of his own audience. The last time the record champions lost in domestic competitions was in 1950, 0:5 against AVV DOS Utrecht in the Eerste Klasse B.

This result adds to Ajax’s weak start to the season, who sit in 14th place with just five points after five games. Gimenez, a triple packer, now has nine goals, more than the entire Ajax team (seven). With 14 points, Feyenoord has now caught up with the leading duo PSV and AZ Alkmaar (15), who each have one game less. Both teams have won their five league matches so far.

The referee stopped the match in Amsterdam on Sunday, in accordance with league rules, after fans twice fired flares onto the pitch. No visiting fans were present at the match. Ajax and their opponent, FC Volendam, who were actually summoned on Thursday, had filed an emergency procedure – without success. Volendam President Jan Smit complained: “This is unfair competition. Ajax and FC Volendam do not agree with this ridiculous decision.

Ajax coach Maurice Steijn said after the match (quoted via « orange soccer ball« ): « We wanted to try something from the start, but after 0:4 the match was over. That’s how it is – it wasn’t enough today. A lot happened this week. I am happy that we can close this chapter and focus on RKC. » It is unclear how long Steijn, who only arrived this summer, will remain on the sidelines at Ajax. The experienced Steven Berghuis (31) has responded to “ESPNWhen asked what he thought of the coach, he replied: “That’s a tough question. Others must judge.

More allegations against former Ajax Amsterdam sporting director Mislintat

In addition to the sporting failures of this season, Ajax has had to deal in recent days with the affair of technical director Sven Mislintat, who has since been released. In addition to sporting criticism of his transfers, which have so far had little impact, the 50-year-old former sports director of VfB Stuttgart is accused of causing a possible conflict of interest within the listed club when the Croatian national player Borna Sosa (25 years old) left Swabia to settle in Amsterdam. The background is Mislintat’s participation in the (Site notre bureau spécialisé) data analysis company “Matchmetrics”. The player advisory agency “AKA Global GmbH” has also been involved in this company since the summer and recently arranged the transfer for a transfer fee of 8 million euros.

The consultancy and its owner Arthur Beck face new allegations against Mislintat. The coach reportedly asked most of the twelve new Ajax players signed to join ‘AKA Global’. « The transfer of Sosa seems to be the tip of the iceberg, » Gerben Everts, director of the Dutch shareholders’ association VEB, told the NOS news agency.

Everts continued: “There are signs that there is more going on. There appear to have been emails to players saying shortly before the transfer that they would not be able to achieve their dream transfer if they did not move to Beck. This may be common in the (Site notre bureau spécialisé) industry, but it cannot be the case in a listed company.

The association had opened an independent investigation into this matter and Mislintat itself announced that it wanted to cooperate fully. Ajax announced that the separation from the Dortmund native, only signed in May, was not linked to the allegations.
