Journalist Algemeen Dagblad points to Guus Til

After a strong season at PSV, Guus Til has been taken by national team coach Ronald Koeman with the Netherlands squad to the World Cup in North America. In the second half of the match against Sweden (5-1), Koeman allowed Til to come on, and the midfielder came on for Tijani Reijnders and made a great impression.

For the PSV player, this also meant his debut at the World Cup. In the match against Japan (2-2), Til stayed on the bench for the entire game.

Maarten Wijffels, a journalist for Algemeen Dagblad, approves of the way Koeman is treating his selection players in this manner. Wijffels envisions a role for every player in the Netherlands selection.

''For almost everyone who is now going to America with the group, there seems to be perspective and a role. Just look at the striker position alone. Koeman did not manage to challenge Memphis Depay's status there for years. Now, for the time being, he is number three. Anyone who hasn't played yet also knows exactly what they need to focus on,'' writes the journalist in De Telegraaf.

After that Wijffels mentions a few names and Til is also mentioned. ''Marten de Roon is the informal leader of the substitutes. The barometer in the group, something he couldn't be at the European Championship two years ago, because he missed the tournament at the eleventh hour due to an injury. Mats Wieffer, Lutsharel Geertruida: soldiers who never complain. They are happy to experience a World Cup and they give every training everything they've got, just like so does Guus Til and the keepers Mark Flekken and Robin Roefs'', the journalist said.
