Johan Derksen has spoken very positively about Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo on Monday. In Veronica Inside the analyst discusses the choices that national coach Frank de Boer must make for the Dutch team towards the European Championship. Furthermore, according to Derksen, there is absolutely no room for Ryan Babel in the selection and René van der Gijp and Hans Kraay junior think that De Boer should make a choice between Davy Klaassen and Georginio Wijnaldum.
“He really plays the best when he is number ten”, Kraay starts his story about the role of Davy Klaassen in the Dutch national team. “He has played three good matches at number six, but that is not his place at all. Marten de Roon is much more suitable for that. Frank de Boer also knows that he must determine who is the best number ten: Wijnaldum or Klaassen. ””
Van der Gijp takes up Kraay’s thesis and is particularly impressed by the passion that Klaassen puts into play. “If you see what an energy he radiates, dude … He really has a lot more energy than Wijnaldum, who is a much more ‘relaxed boy’ in midfield. Klaassen really has a lot more dynamics than Wijnaldum. It is very simple: De Boer will soon have to choose the one who is in the best form ”, concludes Van der Gijp, who, incidentally, does not give Donny van de Beek any chances to join the European Championship selection, due to his spare role. at Manchester United.
Derksen agrees with the words of the table gentlemen and also sees two names of young players who should go to the European Championship. “If I look at last weekend, I see only two talents who can claim a place at the Dutch: Gravenberch and Gakpo. They actually add something in terms of talent, shape and physical strength. Unlike Babel. Frank de Boer should never talk about that guy with that the Dutch hair again, right? ”, Derksen lashes out. Kraay, by the way, fully agrees: “We do agree that Gakpo Babel is outdated. It is really unimportant what the role of Babel is in the dressing room. ”
The table gentlemen agree that Gakpo and Gravenberch are certainly physically potential players of the Dutch national team. “And that does not apply to Myron Boadu, Calvin Stengs and Teun Koopmeiners at all in my eyes,” says Derksen. ‘For Koopmeiners there is no place at all in that midfield. At one point he struck a high tone about the fact that he was not part of the selection and had to go with the Dutch Juniors. Then I think: who do you think you are? “
