Johan Derksen calls Wout Weghorst and Memphis Depay the biggest setbacks at the Dutch against Austria (2-0). ‘s analyst The the Dutch Summer repeats that in his eyes Weghorst does not deserve a starting place at all and that Donyell Malen should play. “Weghorst and Depay just played extremely badly,” says Derksen at the opening of the talk show on Thursday evening.
Derksen had expected more from Depay, even in the opening game against Ukraine. “You have countries with real stars that really take such a team to a higher level,” says the analyst. “Memphis is our real star, and she has already failed two games.” And Weghorst certainly didn’t appeal to him. “Weghorst, again, it is of no use if you draft him the whole game. If you put him in the last fifteen minutes to make war, he is functional. But we are going to convince that boy that he can also play football well. ..”

Wim Kieft also calls Depay ‘a setback’. “Disappointment was Depay. Really so forced. He wants to forcefully become the star. It is always difficult. Every solution is the most difficult solution. I was looking at that Karim Benzema this week, she does everything so thoughtfully. drop a ball, if it’s dangerous he’s there. We’ll take it into the bargain with Depay, but if he has a day like today, it’s nothing at all. The result is good, but that I’m a little disappointed.”
Derksen therefore argues for Malen instead of Weghorst. “I find that more pleasant in terms of running ability, and I also continue to feel sorry for Steven Berghuis. A boy with so many possibilities and such a beautiful final pass, and who is not discussed at all because Weghorst has to walk there …” Kieft hooks into that. “You can’t blame Die Weghorst that much,” says Kieft. “This is it. He comes into the ball a bit, he doesn’t have the pure speed. He did put that ball back well (on Depay, ed.).”
