“I don't think he's good enough.” Koeman candidly comments on Zirkzee's omission from the national team
Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee is facing tough times with his transition to the English team. He's struggling to find his form, which has impacted his performances in the national team.
Details: Zirkzee was not included in the extended squad of the Netherlands national team for the March matches, and the "Oranje" head coach Ronald Koeman decided to openly explain why he made this decision. The striker's form plays a crucial role here.
Quote: "Zirkzee was not included in the preliminary selection because I don't think he's good enough at the moment. He often makes mistakes with turns and passes. Yes, in principle, form and physical readiness always play a leading role, but it's not always possible.
We have many central defenders and midfielders, but we are somewhat limited up front. Even so, I believe that earning a spot on the national team must be deserved. I think he doesn't deserve it now, but it may happen in another period," Koeman stated.
Reminder: It was previously announced when to expect the England squad announcement for the March matches.
