Mohamed Daramy does not have a good feeling about his time at Ajax. The 21-year-old left winger did not live up to expectations and was sold to Stade Reims this summer.

Daramy came over from FC Copenhagen two years ago in good spirits. “When I went there, there was a plan. Things went differently and I didn’t get the opportunities I should have,” the Denmark international told The tip sheet. “You can’t do much about that. Trainers can change their minds.”
Daramy himself has an idea of what was wrong with Ajax. “I think there was little rotation. It was often the same players who started, which made it difficult for me to show myself. I think that’s a shame, but you also learn from it. I’m still young, so there is still enough time. But it wasn’t fun and I’m not used to it. I just want to play, but sometimes you have to accept that the situation is different.”

Daramy hoped to get a new chance at the Johan Cruijff Arena this season, after a rental period at his old club Copenhagen. In addition, a changing of the guard took place at Ajax with the arrival of director Sven Mislintat and coach Maurice Steijn. “I was looking forward to meeting the new coaching staff and football director. But for me it was important to have a clear plan so I wouldn’t end up in the same situation.”
Daramy missed that confidence. “I didn’t feel like I would get a real chance to show myself. I didn’t feel like I was part of their plan. That’s why I wanted to look for something else.” The choice fell on Stade Reims, which paid twelve million euros. Due to bonuses, the transfer fee can increase by 5.5 million.
The wing attacker is off to a good start in France. In his first three games he scored once and provided one assist.
