Wesley Sneijder has Monday evening during Veronica Offside again criticized Ajax captain Dusan Tadic. This time the record international of the Dutch goes wild about the behavior of the 33-year-old attacker. Sneijder thinks it is now starting to get embarrassing how Tadic is showing himself.
Sunday evening Tadic could during Studio Football can already count on fierce criticism from Rafael van der Vaart. “And it just plays for ninety minutes! If we used to play like this, you wouldn’t have made it to the break. You have to deliver. That’s what it’s about. I’m a huge fan of his, but you notice that it’s gone a bit.” Tadic lost the ball 21 times in Alkmaar, more than all other Ajax players on the field.
Sneijder mainly talks about the behavior of the Serbian left leg on Monday. “It’s starting to get really embarrassing now. That moment with Indi (Bruno Martins, ed.), that he is walked in the back. How he lays on the ground, rolls and then hits the field. Push everyone away and then yell at the ref it’s an elbow… Nothing happens at all! You can already see that the boy has completely lost it. You have to put him out of his misery for a while, just on the bank. Sit down!” Sneijder then receives thunderous applause from the audience.
According to Sneijder, the fact that Tadic is captain does not have to mean that he has to play everything at Ajax. “I understand he is the captain, but you can also be a captain off the field, huh? Then you are a top captain. He’s not having it for a while, that’s okay, because he’s had it for a long time.” Presenter Wilfred Genee points out to Sneijder that he himself always wanted to play everything. “No, but if I had played like that I would have also indicated: ‘Just put me on the bench’”, says Sneijder with a big smile. “Give other guys a chance man!”
