Marciano Vink questions the call of Guus Til in the first pre-selection of Louis van Gaal since his return as national coach of the Dutch. ‘s analyst ESPN finds it opportunistic to select Feyenoord’s attacking midfielder, who is hired from Spartak Moscow, after only four official games this season.

Til started energetically at Feyenoord and scored five times in four preliminary round matches in the Conference League. Last season, however, the 23-year-old midfielder only played ten official matches at the highest level. “Don’t you think it’s a bit opportune?”, Vink suggests Good morning Eredivisie on ESPN.

“He barely played last year and now plays four games… Don’t you think that’s a bit fast? I give it to him, you know. Very good for Feyenoord too. It is a running miracle in the front, he gives a lot of pressure forward. But Already with the Dutch national team? I think that’s pretty quick, if you ask me. It’s a pre-selection, but still.” Because Van Gaal’s selection consists of 25 players, only 2 will probably be dropped, unless the national coach still brings other players into the final selection.

Hans Kraay junior is less critical of Til’s preliminary appeal. “At AZ, that was also someone who didn’t need to be on the ball so much to get into the game. He is of course always in the sixteen, nice that he is also there,” says Kraay junior, who is also the election of Tyrell Malacia understands. The left back of Feyenoord can dream of his debut in the Dutch. “Malacia has shown it over a longer period, which is completely right. Malacia is indeed better than many other players. I think he is a better left back than Patrick van Aanholt.”
