Míchel underlines Mika Godts importance after Ajax stumble against Shelbourne

Ajax coach Míchel Sánchez has again highlighted his side’s dependence on Mika Godts after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Shelbourne in Conference League qualifying. Godts did not feature in the match, and AD reports that Ajax struggled in his absence.

Míchel described Godts as his best player in one-on-one situations, illustrating the attacking quality Ajax would risk losing if the winger departs. The coach offered no certainty about the player’s future, telling AD: “I hope he stays.” He added that he did not know what would happen.

The result against Shelbourne reinforced Míchel’s concerns about the options currently available to him. Ajax were unable to overcome their Irish opponents without Godts, leaving the coach to acknowledge the possibility that he may have to prepare for life without a player who provides a significant individual threat.

Míchel also repeated his desire for further attacking recruitment. No prospective signing or destination for Godts was identified in the supplied report, and there is no confirmation that the winger will leave Ajax. For now, his future remains unresolved while the coach continues to press for greater depth in the forward line.
