Pierre van Hooijdonk does not understand Wout Weghorst’s attitude. After winning the European Championship qualifying match against Ireland (1-0), the striker appears exasperated in front of the NOS camera, because he does not appreciate the talk about a ‘difficult match’ for the Dutch team.
“What is your explanation for the fact that today may have been a bit more difficult than you might have hoped?”, is the question from reporter Arman Avsaroglu, which completely displeases Weghorst.

“That is what you find important at the moment?”, asks the scorer of the only goal. “It is important that we have qualified for a main tournament. That is what matters and we have done fantastically. It is undoubtedly the case that we can and must do better.”
“But you already start your second question with ‘difficult match’ in it. I don’t want this interview to go this way, but everyone feels that it was a difficult match. I think it’s a shame that you have to start straight away about a difficult match “, said an agitated Weghorst.
Van Hooijdonk reacts with incomprehension to Weghorst’s words. “He is very irritated again, but Wout also needs to be put down to earth for a while.”
“He scores a fantastic goal, but this is now the second time that we have seen an aggrieved Wout Weghorst. And yet a very normal question is asked. Why can’t Wout Weghorst give a normal answer to that?”, Van Hooijdonk asks out loud. off.
Van der Vaart is also surprised by the striker’s reaction. “When he scored, he already gestured to us or to the crowd, perhaps because of the call for Luuk de Jong. I think that’s what bothers him. It just wasn’t a top match today, so you can just ask that question. Then I think : boy, you scored a world goal today.”
