There is still a lot of discussion about the goalkeeper’s position with the Dutch national team and also in Good morning Orange there is extensive talk about the place below the bar. Analysts Hans Kraay junior and Arnold Bruggink think that Jasper Cillessen is the best choice, while goalkeeper coach Frans Hoek does not rule out in advance that Tim Krul will also be preferred by national coach Frank de Boer in the Nations League game with Bosnia and Herzegovina on Sunday evening.

“There is a lot of discussion and a lot has already been said about it,” Hoek explains in the morning program of Sunday morning FOX Sports. “We no longer have Edwin van der Sar. The question is what is important to the national coach himself.” The goalkeeper expert thinks that Cillessen and Krul are not inferior to each other. “Cillessen was untouchable for a long time. Krul now plays in the Championship, comparable in quality to the Eredivisie. He has strengths and weaknesses. He has a good chance to play.” Marco Bizot does not seem to have a chance for the time being. “He is very unhappy and has absolutely not shown the level of last year.”

Bruggink does not understand why there is usually so much to do about Cillessen. “He has rarely played badly in the Orange.” Kraay junior fully agrees. “Cillessen should just play, not Krul or Bizot. In how many matches has he left the Orange in the lurch? Cillesen is better than Krul in quite a few matches. And CIllessen hates me, because I always say that he has been in a corner if someone takes a penalty. “

John de Wolf, who is also present, does not think that De Boer currently has a goalkeeper problem. “There are no choices to be made, do you? The choice has already been made, hasn’t it?”, The Feyenoord assistant coach refers to the fact that Clessen is normally the first choice in the Dutch national team. Hoek sees opportunities for Krul, however. “I don’t know how Cillessen plays, I haven’t seen him play this season. I have seen Krul play, also with the Orange. Krul has a good chance to play (against Bosnia and Herzegovina, ed.).”
