According to VoetbalPrimeur, Perez stated that the trend around Ajax is "too positive". He pointed to the team's seven losses in seven games, as well as their 2-2 draw with Excelsior, as evidence that the club's performance is not as strong as it is being made out to be. Perez also questioned the hype surrounding Julian Brandt, comparing him to Lionel Messi, and suggested that the club's optimism may be a result of coming from a period of poor performance.
Perez's comments come as Ajax continue to struggle, currently sitting fifth in the league after a 1-3 loss to PSV at home. The club's next match is against RKC Waalwijk, a game that will be crucial in determining their position in the league.
