Wolfsburg Coach Explains Amoura's Decline
Dutch coach Paul Simonis, who is in charge of the technical staff at the German club Wolfsburg, revealed the reasons behind the relative decline in the performance of his Algerian international striker Mohamed Amin Amoura since the start of the current season.
Amoura has played 9 matches with Wolfsburg this season, scoring two goals and providing one assist, which are numbers that fall far short of his performances with the Algerian national team, where he leads the scoring chart in the African qualifiers for the World Cup with 10 goals.
In statements made to the German newspaper "Kicker", Simonis explained that Amoura is experiencing a new experience in terms of playing style and tactical discipline, saying: "For the first time in his career, Amoura is playing within a studied tactical plan and a clear system, and this has affected his attacking performance at the beginning."
The Dutch coach added that the Algerian striker has great potential, but he needs some time to adapt to the team's requirements: "We want him to get used to this system so that he can find his attacking landmarks again in the upcoming period."
Wolfsburg is counting on Amoura's quick adaptation to Simonis's philosophy, especially given the significant bet on the Algerian striker to be one of the offensive keys for the team in the upcoming Bundesliga rounds.
