After the win against the USA, the Netherlands team had a relaxed training session in Qatar yesterday. On the same day, Kylian Mbappe lived up to his star status. He could prepare for the quarter-final against England, while the Orange look forward to a clash with Argentina. In the AD World Cup Football Podcast, Etienne Verhoeff talks to Maarten Wijffels about the absence of captains Ryan Gravenberch and cameraman Andries Noppert in a team.
“A day after such a success, everyone takes their part in the group. There’s a little more physical contact. An arm around someone’s shoulder”, Wijfels considers Sunday in Doha. But Andries Nobert takes the camera of Orange’s social media man and starts filming. He’s not on the monkey rock, but They’ve all accepted him into the roster. They trust him.”
Much has already been said about the Orange game on Sunday’s podcast. Nevertheless, Wijfels still cites the midfield of the Dutch national team. “Orange would be better if they had a specific midfielder next to Frenkie de Jong. You don’t really have that. Gravenberch should have been there. He should have forced himself to be a midfielder next to De Jong. It’s not a coach’s responsibility, but a player’s responsibility.
Who will be the big star of this World Cup has been the question for a long time. But here he is. ,, Kylian Mbappé is the star of this tournament. The ease with which he plays football. He dances across the field. It is very impressive. I think that’s why France is the favorite for this tournament.”
