Heard say, Ajax coach John Heitinga don drop some hints about his lineup for the match against PEC Zwolle. Instead of Raúl Moro, we go see Steven Berghuis take that right flank, while Mika Godts go dey flex on the left. Wetin happen? Apparently, Moro get some medical wahala, plus private gists wey fit affect him game. Heitinga talk say e fit come from bench, but e matter no easy (e no dey waka free, abeg).

Heitinga just dey make sure say everybody know sey competition dey ground like say na hot jollof.
After the match wey Ajax draw against FC Volendam (1-1), coach no hide him feelings. He talk say Moro and Gloukh no perform well, but now dem gatz sit down for bench while Regeer and Godts dey line up for kick-off. This type of competition go make dem feel sey dem gatz shine or dem go still dey watch from sideline.
No forget about Kasper Dolberg wey just land for Ajax this week. He dey come to the team while Wout Weghorst still dey hold dat forward position. Meanwhile, James McConnell wey celebrate him birthday fit make im debut this Saturday. He dey on loan from Liverpool, but Heitinga sabi sey he gatz work hard to claim im spot. “James get big energy and fire. E don only spend few days for training, but I dey eager to see wetin e go bring to the table,” Heitinga yan.
The lineup for Ajax don set: Jaros; Gaaei, Itakura, Baas, Wijndal; Regeer, Klaassen, Taylor; Berghuis, Weghorst, Godts. But no forget sey PEC crowds dey gather their own line-up too. Jan Faberski no go start against him former club; e go dey chill on the bench while e dey plot him next move.
