The Atlético Madrid attacker, who returns to the Dutch national team selection this week after almost a year of absence, is at a certain point a bit ‘done’ with the probing Vahle, but sticks to his previous statements.

After talking for four minutes about, among other things, his position in the Dutch team, Vahle brings the conversation to the support that Memphis seems to express for Promes, who has been sentenced to a total of 7.5 years in prison in two different criminal cases.
