Jong Oranje coach Erwin van de Looi announced his selection for the upcoming international match on Friday. Notable absentee is Myron Boadu. The AS Monaco striker received strong criticism from Van de Looi last month and is now excluded. His place is taken by Crysencio Summerville of Leeds United, who makes his debut in the selection. The Dutch Juniors will play against Young Bulgaria and Young Gibraltar on 12 and 15 November respectively.
“Myron is a player with a lot of talent and quality and has also proven his value for the Dutch Juniors several times. We do expect a player who is called up for the Dutch Juniors to have a certain attitude and ambition, we have missed this at Myron in the past two international matches. That is why we are now making different choices,” says Van de Looi on the KNVB website about Boadu’s absence.

The striker was on the bench for ninety minutes at the Dutch Juniors against Young Wales (5-0) last month. “You just have to supply energy, we think that has not been done enough,” said Van de Looi opposite ESPN about the situation of Boadu. “We have looked openly and honestly at what he has brought. We know that Myron is in a difficult situation, he doesn’t play too much at his club and he has a hard time with us too. Then you want to give a player confidence and set him up, get to work with him. It would be nice if that is possible. But what a player should always do – and what you can expect – is go for it and show that he wants to get better and fight back to a certain level.”
“Compared to the previous final selection, there are a number of notable absentees,” said Van de Looi. “Mitchel Bakker (Bayer Leverkusen) and Sven Botman (Lille OSC) are injured or have not recovered in time from an injury and are therefore unable to play. be with you.” Summerville regularly makes playing minutes in the Premier League at Leeds United this season. His development is now being rewarded with a call for the Juniors. “We are very curious how he will show himself in the group in the coming period.”
