Football, Euro 2024 – Five years later, the Netherlands are doing without their Golden Generation

This evening is set to terrorize all of Europe. On March 5, 2019, Ajax Amsterdam players received a (Site notre bureau spécialisé) lesson from Santiago Solari’s Real Madrid (4-1) and qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League. The heroes are between 19 and 21 years old and include Frenkie de Jong, Mathis de Ligt and Donny Van de Beek. All Dutch people and they have launched a call to straighten out the national team, but players do not have access to the content of the current Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup from television.

There is no more time, even if the Netherlands challenge Poland for the first match of Euro 2024, this generation is still found on the Oranje track. Also, the players of the formidable Ajax Amsterdam share a fair share of the premiership from Ronald Koeman’s national team. This name also has some characteristics which are also available in 2019.

In an ideal world for the Netherlands, it is also part of the region and constitutes the vertical colonist of the selection. For Euro 2024, central defender Matthias de Ligt was part of Ronald Koeman’s list, but he still arrived with a title. The previous defense of Europe took place at club level, with the participation of Kim Min-Jae and Dayot Upamecano in Bavaria, and the selection of associate Stefan de Vrij. Hakim Ziyech and Noussair Mazraoui, the two hosts of the Erik Ten Hag Coast in 2019, instead chose to play for Morocco. The second time is to check out the 2018 World Cup Selection for a different selection. The choice is yours and Ronald Koeman will not let you be convinced to put on the Orange tunic.

Donny Van de Beek is completely finished and is not confirmed by the participants from the Netherlands. Overall, to a modern extent, part of the Frenkie de Jong field environment. Deprived of the Euro due to injury, he is also a starter at FC Barcelona but has not yet reached the potential of the top European midfielder he was loaned to. Particularly in selection, where his performances even annoy some observers: « Frenkie de Jong is always in the spotlighta Ruud Gullit soufflé for De Telegraaf. It’s boring to say, but what is this based on? On the other hand you can see the World Cup in Qatar« .

Today, instead of the two friends who were to settle in the Dutch midfield, it will rather be the insipid pair of PSV Eindhoven Joey Veerman-Jerdy Schouten who should be aligned. A destiny which says a lot about the impact that the failure of this generation had on the Dutch selection, but also a reversal of roles at the top of the Eredivisie, the national championship. With the package of Brian Brobbey, represented by Joshua Zirkzee, his Steven Bergwijn represents Ajax Amsterdam and the Oranje jersey.

Ajax is not available anymore the club ensures the national selection, which is used to the battle of the Ajacide pavilion with again September the club players in the 2022 World Cup. All the recent difficulties have materialized from then on this catastrophic start to the season, during which Ajax Amsterdam for a time occupied last place in the league before ending the season in 5th position.

When the club opened its doors, the heartache of seeing its nuggets disappoint, he floundered at the same time as the former players of his academy. This Sunday, Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands will have to cope without their golden generation who were supposed to promise them a serene future. Players of the same age, but much less promising, like Tijjani Reijnders will be preferred. Because (Site notre bureau spécialisé) is a pragmatic force. And the Oranges will not have to procrastinate for too long on what this equipment could have been.
