The afternoon training had a number of guests from various countries. Migrant workers. And with that, the players and staff wanted to draw attention to the conditions in which these people have to work. “Yes, I had the idea that this was a historic day. Van Dijk was also the right man to express this at the press conference. You also saw how he was busy with those people on the field. Anyway, Orange has now stuck its neck out. Only they should not take on the suffering of the whole world. It should now mainly be about sports.”
Wijffels noticed a number of things during the Orange training. For example Andries Noppert and Xavi Simons, the newcomer in Van Gaal’s selection. “You sometimes see Simons coming into contact with Virgil van Dijk. Then you will see the physical differences. Simons almost bounces back when he runs into Van Dijk. But that little guy can dribble this World Cup with his beginner mind and who knows. That could just be a weapon.”
