Ronald Koeman disagree with those who say the former Barcelona player Xavi Simons was a worse player in the Dutch national team than his club, the Leipzig of the Bundesliga. While it is true that the midfielder’s performance was better in the German team than when competing in the Netherlands, this does not put him in a worse place. According to Koeman, he is a very important football player for ‘Oranje’.
And Simons is yet to score in nine international matches. “Of course everyone wants to score goals, but he is developing incredibly in Leipzig. It’s great to see him. It shows that he has a bright future ahead of him. I don’t agree with Xavi having less success in the national team. Of course, he has bad moments in games, but I am very happy that we have a player like Xavi in the national team,” said the coach.
