Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit has heaped praise on NEC following their impressive tactical performance. At the same time, he has publicly questioned why traditional Eredivisie heavyweights like Ajax, Feyenoord, and PSV fail to replicate such efficiency.
Feyenoord boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has admitted he was stunned by the KNVB's bold move to name former Barcelona team-mate Xavi as the new Netherlands head coach. The Dutch tactician has already reached out to congratulate the Spaniard, insisting that his former colleague deserves total backing despite the initial scepticism surrounding his appointment.
