Special reaction | Son Ronald Koeman reacts after Veerman’s jab toward Koeman Sr.: ‘Did I tell him too?’

1 min read

What all the commotion surrounding Ronald Koeman and Joey Veerman. The Netherlands national team has won the first point at the World Cup, but the tempers surrounding Veerman, celebrating his vacation, have still not calmed down.

Meanwhile, even the son of Ronald Koeman is being heard in full. Well, why not... Koeman junior also has an opinion about it. An opinion that is, it must be said, nuanced. Koeman junior reacted last weekend to Joey Veerman’s deliberately intended jab toward his father.

The midfielder from Volendam, who is in the spotlight of Internazionale, appeared Saturday morning life-size on an advertisement in De Telegraaf, which features ‘character’. For that reason, the PSV player would be missing from the World Cup squad. Veerman is the face of a new G-STAR campaign, in which the word ‘character’ is held in high regard.

The striking action is discussed on the talk show Mixed Zone. “Isn’t this his right, though? If he wants to do this, he can, right? He is starting to spin a bit. The subject is finished. He’s not coming along. Period", Koeman’s son reacts soberly.

“The story about his character has been made very big. In my opinion, my father said something about it once. He didn’t say that he’s annoying in a group; the media made that up. He can play football, though. It would have been easier if my father hadn’t said anything about his character; I told him that as well. If Veerman wants to post a photo, he may do so. My dad also sometimes says something about him,” said Koeman Junior.

Koeman junior die zegt dat de media "karakter" oppompt... dat klinkt eerlijk, maar ik vraag me af of Veerman dan niet juist olie op het vuur gooit met die hele advertentie-stunt. Joey is wél een bal kunstenaar, maar dit is vooral show en gedoe. 👀

Tbh snap ik dat wel, "Het onderwerp is klaar" is echt de juiste nuchterheid. 😅 Veerman draait nu rondjes terwijl het WK al gespeeld wordt.

"Heb ik hem ook verteld" is wel grappig, maar tbh ook volwassen van Koeman junior. Geef toe, dat "karakter"-verhaal is echt door de media opgeblazen. Veerman kan gewoon posten wat hij wil, maar het was slim geweest om het rustig te houden.

Eens dat het verhaal te groot gemaakt wordt. Als Veerman "door gaat draaien" door zo'n sneer, dan is dit precies het soort gedoe waar je NL-voetbal niet mee wil. Maar ik snap Koeman junior wel.
