The head coach of the Netherlands national team, Ronald Koeman, spoke about Steven Bergwijn, who moved to Saudi Arabia, and the still-injured Frenkie de Jong:

"I am worried that F. de Jong is still not playing. It has already been a very long time.

He is recovering, but he is still not ready to compete. There are issues with his ankle, and he needs more time to recover.”

"Steven Bergwijn moved to Saudi Arabia at the age of 26. It is clear that this has nothing to do with sporting ambitions. His story with the Netherlands national team is closed.

S. Bergwijn probably understands what I would have said about his departure.”
