ADVERTORIAL – The Dutch national team will take on Italy for the second time in the Nations League on Wednesday evening, this time in the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. The first meeting between both teams did not end well for the Orange: it became 0-1 in the Johan Cruijff ArenA by a goal by Nicolò Barella just before half-time. The international matches against Mexico and Bosnia and Herzegovina also ended in a debacle. In all these games had to be played without an audience, so the Orange Legion could not provide the team with encouragement. It is precisely this that the incredibly rich football fan Benny Silberbaum, aka the So Much Money Man, blames the point loss.

‘Look, it is vital for players like Memphis Depay that an audience is present. The boy sticks his fingers in the ears after every goal, but how much point does that make if there is no one in the stands making a noise? Exactly, none! Then you make yourself completely ridiculous as a style icon. You can also see it in the statistics: in 2019 he scored six goals and gave ten assists in eight duels. In 2020 his counter will be at zero! You don’t think that’s a coincidence, do you? That is why Ronald Koeman also took the train to Barcelona, ​​which has already seen the mood of his star player! ‘

‘Memphis is not the only one who is like this’, de Silberbaum continues his story. ‘Guys like Quincy Promes, Daley Blind and Ryan Babel are also very sensitive to honor and mainly do it for the stage. These type of guys are real spenders and try to impress with expensive brands, big cars and eccentric art. If Frank de Boer wants to motivate them without an audience, he will have to respond to their sense of honor and appearance. And this is unfortunately exactly his weakness, because in the past we have already seen how things went completely wrong with the proud Mounir El Hamdaoui. When he switched, he wanted a nice German car of 243,000 euros, which was immediately very difficult at Ajax. With such a false start you understand very little of it and now these problems are re-emerging. ‘

The Zoo Much Money Man, Eurojackpot’s expert in creative money spending, does have some suggestions for the new national coach: ‘Look, we really have to get rid of that Dutch thrift, you can already see in Europe that we are being looked at with runny nose everywhere. Those Italians, for example, are not afraid to take a risk and spend money for their stars. But we can get over that. As the KNVB, for example, tell Memphis that he will receive an exclusive French bag with matching cowboy boots for every goal or promise Promes a dozen Fabergé eggs for his entire quarantine squad during a hat trick. Let Steven Berghuis live up to its name with a chic chalet in the Swiss Alps. These are statements with which you achieve results and give those guys that little push.

Time is running out and it is vital that the KNVB introduces such a decadent designer bag profit premium before Wednesday if we want to have another chance in the Nations League. Because if anything is clear in football, it is that success is for sale, according to the Eurojackpot advisor. ‘Finally, add some glamor posts on Instagram and three retweets for Marten de Roon and you are guaranteed to see good figures on the scoreboard.’
