Johan Derksen understands that Ryan Babel invariably belongs to the selection of the Dutch national team, despite the fact that the Galatasaray attacker rarely has a base place in the Dutch. The analyst of Veronica Inside would therefore find it incomprehensible if national coach Frank de Boer includes the now 34-year-old Babel in May in the final selection of the Netherlands for this summer’s European Championship.

“If Babel comes along, that is a disqualification of the national coach if he takes it with him”, Derksen gives a harsh judgment about the experienced winger in Turkish service. “There are ten players who are functional if you take them with you or they can get used to the level or they are just demonstrably better than Babel. Taking him with you is really laughable, then De Boer makes himself unbelievable once and for all.” Presenter Wilfred Genee then points out that UEFA is working on the plan to expand the European Championship selections to 27 players.

“That is special for Babel,” says Genee with a joke. “But Babel is in any case among the first eighteen, nineteen players. He (De Boer, ed.) Really won’t let them go,” adds Valentijn Driessen, who was also present. “Well, if those selections could be even bigger, then Wim Kieft also has a chance”, Derksen continues jokingly. The analyst then picks up on Driessen’s statement that De Boer seems to have a preference for Ajax players or players with a past in Amsterdam.

“PSV has always had that very strong, from above the major rivers. That is also a bit provincial. But Frank asks for it, for these kinds of rumors. Because that right back of PSV (Denzel Dumfries, ed.) Has it reasonably well. done in all those games and then suddenly Kenny Tete who can participate three times with Fulham. Driessen is in complete agreement with Derksen regarding Dumfries: “Did he really let things down?” The Telegraph wondering out loud.
