Ronald Waterreus, one of the former goalkeepers of the Dutch National Team, spoke about the cancellation of Veerman’s transfer to Fenerbahçe.

Waterreus’s statement on the subject in the Dutch press was as follows:

“Veerman is one of the best players in the Netherlands. In this sense, it is difficult to understand why Koeman does not consider him in the Dutch national team. Is it still based on his bad performance in the Austria match? If so, someone needs to warn Koeman. Veerman definitely deserves to be in the World Cup.

I really liked that he answered ‘no’ to Fenerbahçe. I like Veerman’s openness and colorful personality. Moreover, he is one of the best and indispensable names of the Dutch League. With his answer, he showed that he had principles and could see beyond money. How many football players would do the same thing? How many football players would reject an offer from Fenerbahçe? “Would he prefer to win a third consecutive title with PSV?”
