I don’t know from God where Valentine gets that from”, Bruinenberg said on Friday in a response to Football zone. “I think he should check his sources better than he did apparently. Because this is of course the greatest nonsense there is. Joey would not be able to go to training camp with Heerenveen, which he just does. It’s a strange story anyway. But let’s be clear that that’s not the case. We of course released a statement a few months ago, along with Joey, clearly stating that Joey wants to use the time spent on international football for private reasons. “
