In a recent press conference, Dutch national team manager Ronald Koeman showed his deep insight into the current situation of the team and his firm confidence in the future. He first recalled the brilliant performance of the Dutch team in the European Cup, which was the team's brightest moment in recent years, but at the same time, he is also soberly aware that in order to continue to maintain such competitiveness, it requires the joint efforts of the whole team and continuous improvement.
In response to Belwin's decision to join Saudi side Jeddah United, Koeman expressed his regret and dismay. He believes that as a player of only 26 years old, Belwin should have continued to hone his skills in a higher level league instead of pursuing financial gain prematurely. Koeman's words not only expressed his doubts about Belwin's personal choice, but also revealed his concerns about the career planning of the younger generation of Dutch soccer players.
When talking about De Jong's injury, Koeman could not hide his worries. He said that De Jong's prolonged absence is a huge loss for the Dutch team, but he also believes that De Jong will recover as soon as possible and return to the field. Koeman's words not only showed his recognition of De Jong's ability, but also reflected his belief in the team's unity and common difficulties.
In addition, Koeman also commented on the growth of Hrafenbech in Liverpool. He believes that Hrafenbech has gradually found his place in the Premier League and has shown excellent midfield organization and leadership qualities. Koeman is looking forward to Hrafenbech's future and encourages him to continue to stay focused and work hard to contribute more to the Dutch national team.
Finally, Koeman showed a strong sense of responsibility and commitment in responding to questions from the media and fans about Depay's performance at home.
