Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman decided not to include forward Steven Bergwijn in the national team after his move to Saudi Arabia.
The former Tottenham, Ajax, and PSV player sharply criticized Koeman's decision. Bergwijn stated that he no longer wishes to play under this coach and believes Koeman could have contacted him directly to hear his side of the story.
Details: In response to Bergwijn's emotional remarks, Ronald Koeman remarked that such a reaction was expected. However, he stands by his decisions and statements.
Quote: "Moving to Saudi Arabia at 16... this is not a transfer based on sporting factors," the Netherlands coach added.
Reminder: Last season, Bergwijn played 24 Eredivisie matches for Ajax, scoring 12 goals and providing 4 assists. Previously, he played for Tottenham and PSV. He has now transferred to Al-Ittihad for €21 million.
For the Netherlands national team, Bergwijn has made 35 appearances and scored 8 goals.
