Valentin Dreesen is quite surprised by the scoop: “If the Netherlands comes in second…”

If Valentin Dreesen is to be believed, they are hard at work in Amsterdam preparing everything for a celebratory cruise, including second place at the European Championships. The journalist can take advantage of that. Telegraph With his head.

During the day Today inside Orange Noa Vahle reveals that she heard the scoop through Dreesen. Later we see the same journalist in the picture. “By chance I spoke to Marianne van Leeuwen, the director of the Dutch Football Association, yesterday and she also said: 'How strange, there might be an award in the programme if I come in second place'. I say: What kind of idiot are you to come here to win, aren't you? And she said: 'No, no, I don't support that at all, we won't start with that'.”

The journalist explains that the desire to have a second-place cruise is very strong among a certain class. “The municipality of Amsterdam does everything it can, does everything it can to build and prepare things, incurs costs. To have a second-place boat tour… you don’t go into the water as a second, come on.”

Driessen believes that this situation initially misrepresents the Dutch team's goal in the European Championship. “I don't think the European Championship is a success if you finish second or reach the semi-finals. You just have to win the championship.” The gentlemen sitting at the table believe that the Amsterdam municipality should devote their mental energy mainly to other matters and current problems. “You shouldn't be on a boat like that as a player, should you?” says Johan Derksen, while Wilfried Gini still remembers the previous round when he came in second. “We also did it in 2010, wasn't that like a pig's pliers?”
