Ronald Koeman He was saddened yesterday when he found out that he didn’t expect it Frenkie De Jong for European Cup which will start in a few days in Germany. The coach of the Netherlands encountered physical problems with the FC Barcelona player, a club he accused of not protecting the player and taking too much risk with him.
Koeman must appoint a replacement for the former Ajax Amsterdam player and, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the choice will cause a surprise. The lucky one to make the list is Ian Maatsen, left for Borussia Dortmund, a Champions League finalist.
It is surprising that Koeman did not choose a midfielder, a player in the same position as De Jong, and opted for a left back. Quinten Timber and Mats Wieffer, both from Feyenoord, are not fit, so they have to move pieces. The Dutch press speculated that the coach would move some midfielders to the defense: Daley Blind and Lutsharel Geertruida could advance their position.
