Yesterday many people had expected the name of Zinho Vanheusden from the mouth of national coach Roberto Martinez. However, it was Jacky Mathijssen who called him off. Also a surprise for analyst Eddy Snelders.
“It is surprising that he is not there”, says Snelders Sporza. “He has been close to the selection many times and despite his young age, he still shows a lot of maturity in the competition.
Still, he sees the Standard defender getting there. “It might have been a good time to integrate him into the group together with those other debutants. For years there has also been a search for a successor to Kompany, because he was not there all too often due to injury. But someone like Vanheusden will not be there. so we had to sit in the waiting room for a while. “
