Seedorf gets angry when he is compared to Xavi Simons

SA Clarence Seedorf A journalist greatly upsets his football career with the career of Xavi Simons. I would say that both, with successes at club level, have questionable careers in the Dutch national team. “I’m sure Seedorf has wise advice for Xavi. What should I tell him? I’m curious,” the journalist wrote in the ‘Algemeen Dagblad’. And yesterday, in the television program ‘Veronica Offside’, the former player of Madrid, pressed on the subject, responded with obvious anger.

“I don’t feel like talking about this at all, but if I have something to say to Xavi I will tell him personally.” “I have some good advice for the journalist who said that: he should give less opinion about things he doesn’t know.” But Seedorf didn’t ask the question about Simons’ situation. “If the same thing happened to me with him, let’s burn talent again. I agree with the criticism. Criticism is good especially if it is constructive. But, please, we must give Xavi time to learn from it. He is a young player.”

Seedorf believes that Ronaldo Koeman’s recent criticism of the Leipzig midfielder, the Orange coach, should be considered constructive. The former footballer played 87 international matches as a player, but there could be more. From 2004 to 2012, the former midfielder was hardly called up, despite being an important player for Milan until 2012. Seedorf defends himself against criticism of his international career. “It depends on the coaches you had, because some put players in unnatural positions. Besides, all that is in the past. I have a lot to say about all this, but not anymore. Having brought up the subject at the time,” he said. And he repeated, at the insistence of the journalist: “I will tell you again: I am not here to talk about this kind of things.”
