Frank de Boer named his squad for the November internationals earlier on Friday, but once again, Weghorst’s name was missing. He was in the provisional squad again, but Luuk de Jong, Memphis Depay, and Donyell Malen were preferred.
Speaking to Fox Sports, Weghorst couldn’t hide his frustration, “Since my debut, eighteen months ago, I no longer play a significant role at the Oranje.
“I am always in the pre-selection of thirty players, but I drop eighty percent of the time. Then I am one of the seven dropouts. That is extremely frustrating, because I want to be part of the Dutch national team. I want to be there every match. That motivates me to keep working, to keep improving. I have to get better so that I get that chance. “
Weghorst has four Netherlands caps to his name. He has four goals in ten games for Wolfsburg this season.
Frankly, he deserves to have his chance in the squad
He is much better than Babel
Plays a slightly different role but your point is well taken. Babel can’t hit the backside of a barn from 10 feet with the NT these days….
You are right but sometimes Babel plays as a striker. If Weghorst has his chance, Malen can play as a wing.
Yup. That would be a very good forward option….
Koeman told him he had to work and the pressing aspect of his game, become more rounded, get back to help out. This is why Dost wasn’t selected and if he is not going to change that aspect of his game, I don’t think he can be frustrated with the trainer. Only himself to blame. I love Weghorst, he is great at his game, but he needs to become more of a complete player, more of a complete player, if he wants a shot in the national team. If he does what Luuk de Jong does off the ball, then he could probably expect a call!
Sometimes in the game you need someone who knows how to score
I love Weghorst, he is incredible at his game, yet he really wants to turn out to be even more a total player, to a greater degree a total player, on the off chance that he needs a shot in the public teamKoeman let him know he needed to work and the squeezing part of his game, become more adjusted, return to assist. Therefore Dost wasn’t chosen and assuming he won’t change that part of his game,
