Perez completely flabbergasted during Ajax v Willem II: 'Then you're not all that clever, you know'

Kenneth Perez was highly critical of Jaden Slory at half-time of Ajax v Willem II. The analyst took aim at the visitors' winger after he played a completely wrong pass to Tonny Vilhena at 0-0, leaving him unable to get his shot away.

"How do you play someone in? Your team-mate Vilhena is very left-footed. Really very left-footed. You have all the space to play him in on the left. Do you know what I do? I play it a little too hard to his right. Well, then you're not all that bright as a footballer," said a surprised Perez on ESPN.

"Then you're playing at a different level as well. But he does come from Feyenoord," the analyst added, referring to the fact that Slory is playing on loan for the newly promoted side from Tilburg.

Vilhena failed to score from a promising position and Willem II paid for it. Ajax struck twice shortly before half-time and went into the break 2-0 up.

Perez also turned his criticism towards Oscar Gloukh, who has been given another chance on the left wing at Ajax. "I've had doubts all season. And now it's definitive, as far as I'm concerned. If you can't play this easy ball at the right speed. As a purchased number 10 and playmaker. Then there isn't much left."

The former midfielder pointed to an Ajax counter-attack in which Gloukh released the ball to Steven Berghuis very late. The right winger was then denied by goalkeeper Maxime Delanghe. "Berghuis is also thinking: how is this possible? Play him a little earlier, and I just dink it over the keeper."

"About those sorts of things in a match you might think: shame. But they are exceptionally important things. Coaches and their staff need to pay much more attention to that. A coach like that should say: why did you play Vilhena in on the right?" said Perez.
