Valentijn Driessen addressed . on Tuesday evening, after the match between Romania and the Dutch national team. The analyst was merciless to the PSV midfielder after the Dutch team’s European Championship match against Austria, but now seized the opportunity to address Veerman.
Driessen thought that Veerman’s horror show would mean the end of his international career. “This really can’t happen at this level,” said the football chief of The Telegraph among other things. Due to a precautionary substitution by Jerdy Schouten, Veerman was back in action in the next international match.

“Then Schouten gets half injured and he doesn’t want to take any risks. I understand that very well, because Schouten was one of the best on the field. Yes, then you have to make room for Veerman”, Driessen begins in a fragment for The Telegraph. “I also have to be honest: he did reasonably well. But it wasn’t very good. That chance he got is one hundred percent in at PSV, but because of the leaden weight of the Orange shirt the ball went wide”, Driessen continues.
The journalist then turned to the camera and came with a message for Veerman. “I am very happy Joey, that you are back in the Dutch national team and have worn the shirt again. I am a real fan of the player Joey Veerman, but I thought he played very dull at Oranje. Not the Joey he is at PSV”, he concludes.
