Former Holland striker and manager Marco Ban Basten has expressed disappointment at AZ Alkmaar striker Myron Boadu’s form this campaign.
The Dutch-born Ghanaian striker has had a poor start to the 2020/21 season and failed to sparkle when Alkmaar suffered defeat to Ajax in the Eredivisie on Sunday.
His performance left Van Basten worried, maintaining that Boadu has a lot of work to do to rediscover his form.
“He really has to train a lot with the ball. His feeling with the ball is very poor. He must take better, take with him and dribble in. That means working with the ball every day. He has to become a friend of the ball,” Van Basten told Ziggo Sport.
His comments were backed by ex-AZ striker Kenneth Perez, who thinks the striker’s ability was exaggerated.
“Maybe Stengs and Boadu are not as good as we all think,” Perez said at ESPN . “Maybe this is it. If they make the step to a top club, it must show how good they are. They can sit on the couch there after two bad matches. As a player you should also be able to handle that. Maybe they are. AZ players who play a world pot once in a while. ”
Boadu had only scored six goals in 18 appearances in the 2020/21 campaign.
