London player Dennis Bergkamp denied rumors about a possible return to the Dutch national team.
After a very successful season in the Netherlands, which coincided with a great performance for Arsenal, reports emerged that the 34-year-old forward could once again help his national team in this year's European Championship in Portugal.
Bergkamp ended his international career after the 2000 European Championship, but there were talks that this year the Dutch national team coach Dick Advocaat could ask the player to return.
However, it seems that we will not see the player wearing the orange jersey of the Dutch national team on the field - the player himself denied it:
"There were no thoughts of a return," he told the Dutch newspaper "AD Sportwereld." - "But a few days ago, these rumors reached me - my relatives in the Netherlands said they heard and read about it. To me, it seems funny - I said 'stop' and definitely did not reconsider."
"What does it take to play at the highest level for longer?" - the player rhetorically asked and answered himself. - "You have to consider everything and give up something, and this time it was the Dutch national team."
