Xavi Simons feels mistreated by the Dutch press. His latest performances with the Dutch national team have been debated and questioned and it is said that he performs better as a Leipzig player than as an ‘Oranje’ player. Koeman himself, in his final appearance after the game against Scotland, criticized his work as an international.
But of course, it’s one thing for a coach to tell you and another for the media. The opinions of his compatriots did not agree with the footballer, who will now be left without talking to him. And, according to ‘ESPN’, he decided to boycott the media in his country, something he had already done after losing the Champions League match against Real Madrid, where he left without speaking.
“He thinks he’s criticized too much and said he doesn’t want to talk to the Dutch press, but I don’t know if that would be useful to him. It’s all strange,” said journalist Pascal Kamperman. But Simons was supported by a professional colleague: Antwerp striker Vincent Janssen: “It’s terrible how they treat the players in Holland,” he told ‘Het Laatste Nieuws’. “Those guys on television talk about the players in a rude way, just to win over the viewers. I played in a World Cup with Xavi Simons, who is a good boy and a good soccer player. Okay, he has a bad game with Holland, but “They immediately criticized him without restraint.”
