Ronald de Boer does not think that Brian Brobbey is ready for a call-up for the Dutch national team. The former player believes that the Ajax striker must first make the necessary flying hours before the the Dutch comes into the picture. Brobbey is nevertheless on the list of national coach Louis van Gaal, who recently let the attacker consciously play with the Dutch Juniors with a view to qualifying for next year’s European Championship.

“Everyone shouts very loudly that Brian Brobbey should be in the Dutch, but I think that’s an exaggeration,” De Boer opens in conversation with Football International† “He has to prove himself first. He still can’t handle ninety minutes. He has to play a lot more matches. He probably does that at the Dutch Juniors, so please leave him there. He also has to prove himself as a real one.” goalscorer.” The analyst considers the player rented out to Ajax by RB Leipzig to be a ‘good striker, but not yet a pure finisher’.

“I hope he will learn that, but that is difficult at that age. In my opinion, he just has to make flying hours,” adds De Boer. Fellow analyst Youri Mulder is a lot milder about the attacker of Ajax and the Dutch Juniors. “I had brought Brobbey with me earlier than Vincent Janssen. I think that will also happen in Qatar. I think he is much more of a striker for the the Dutch than Janssen, but with Brobbey it is of course uncertain what his future looks like. Anyway, there is this international match. also for.” Mulder thinks that Van Gaal already knows what Brobbey can add to the the Dutch squad, even though he has not played a single international match so far.

“You could also take them both to test. Then you take the first game Brobbey, because Janssen will come later. I think he deserves more. Anyway, we never see the Mexican competition either.” Due to his wedding, Janssen later joined the Dutch national team, which will play against Poland (June 11) and Wales (June 14) in the Nations League. The Monterrey attacker was last called up for the Dutch in October 2017.
