Mexico City /

After scoring his first goal of the season with Ajax, Edson Alvarez was the center of football analysis on specialized sites in Ajax, which rmade an analysis of the 5-0 victory against ADO over the weekend and they also focused on player performance, including Machín’s work.

For some games, the Mexican served as central defender and this situation was highlighted by Ajax Show Time which provides the place where the player was best seen, right behind the midfielders and as the first to initiate the Dutch team’s attacking game.

Edson Alvarez He played for the third time in a short time as a central defender. What position do you prefer? Asks editor Gino Haverkamp.

“As a central defender. Partly because then you can make room for Kudus in the center of the field, near Gravenberch. But also because Alvarez he is much better defensive than he generates and then I prefer to see him from behind. If you reject AlvarezIt will be to the detriment of Timber again, who could play as a right defender, but there you have Rensch and Mazraoui again. So, continue with this luxury issue anyway, but I love Alvarez more in the center of defense than in the center of the field, “he wrote.

Ajax defeated ADO 5-0 in a game in which the Mexican played as a central defender on the right and in recent months won the praise of the coach Erik Ten Hag which seems to have found him a better position within him Ajax.

Some people prefer to see it in the middle of the field as an additional isolation against big opponents.. And I understand, because he is a good destroyer in the middle of the field and that is necessary sometimes. But I find it difficult to draw definitive conclusions, too, because I have hardly seen it Saint play there against bigger teams. If it goes well, you won’t need it anymore Alvarez There”.
