Karsdorp and Dumfries are as fast as he is and I thought the way Karsdorp Messi'ed himself through the Oporto defense was pretty amazing.
It's like Quale against that other vice president candidate ( I've known Kenney, you're not a Kennedy) I can say: "I've seen Carlos and Marcello....he's not a Carlos or Marcello.
The resilience of the Orange explained, where does it come from? https://www.ad.nl/nederlands-voetbal/de-veerkracht-van-oranje-verklaard~aadd4154/ PREMIUM Het Nederlands elftal voor aanvang van de wedstrijd tegen Noord-Ierland. © Pim Ras Fotografie De veerkracht van Oranje verklaard Weer gebeurde donderdagavond waar dit Nederlands elftal stilaan patent op heeft: na een achterstand vecht het team terug en wint alsnog. Waar komt dat vandaan?
"Voor rust een zwak Oranje en een 1-0 achterstand tegen Slowakije, daarna Ruud Vormer erbij als invaller en het ging draaien. Vormer is geen topper, maar zijn agressiviteit hielp die avond het elftal en maakte ook specifiek de middenvelder naast hem, Davy Pröpper, beter. Zo denkt Koeman vaker in koppeltjes die elkaar kunnen aanvullen en versterken. En: alle wissels weten bij hem ook dát ze kunnen invallen, ieder heeft duidelijkheid over zijn rol." "Before the break a weak Orange and 1-0 trailing against Slovakia, then in comes Ruud Vormer as a substitute and it began to spin. Vormer is not a top player, but his aggressiveness helped the team that evening and also specifically made the midfielder next to him, Davy Pröpper, better. That's the way Koeman thinks, more often in couples who can complement and reinforce each other. And: all (potential) subs also know with him that they can come in, everyone has clarity about his role."
Dest is way quicker than Dumfries. Straight line speed is probably close. Dumfries is much better physically. I thought Karsdrop was going to be world class... still just 24 and has plenty of time to resurrect career.
I created three threads to specifically comment on players regarding the line they play in, defense/midfield/attack, so it becomes more easy to find things back.

Bad news for Oranje of Barca dont win trophies over the next 3 years: https://www.ad.nl/nederlands-voetbal/knvb-koeman-heeft-clausule-in-contract-over-barcelona~a4ea8b4b/
How much must Barca pay? I donot think such clauses should be put in contracts. The only clause I think fit is a 50 million break up fee aka transfersum.
Anyway, Barca is soon a memory as it will be cut from LaLiga with the separation wave. He has a clause that if either Overmars or van der Sar moves, he's free to sign a contract with another party. fake news
I dont like these clauses either, but I dont think KNVB wouldve been able to sign him without that clause. Koeman BTW has pulled this stunt before when he ditched PSV midseason for Valencia in 2007
This would be extremely detrimental for both Barcelona and La Liga. The latter would just be another League 1 where one team overwhelmingly dominates the league year in year out with some outliers here and there, maybe.
^^ I already noted over on the Ajax thread that FOUR of the players nominated came from last season's Ajax team. I think only ManCity and Liverpool had as many or more players on the list. If we are looking at the player who did the most for his team, Dusan Tadic is perhaps most deserving. I don't think he missed a single match and his move to a false 9 was key to Ajax march to the semifinals of the CL and 30 seconds from the finals.

https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/10/0...er-dringen-bij-het-nederlands-elftal-a3975948 Het wordt steeds meer dringen bij het Nederlands elftal Oranje De nieuwe status van Oranje betekent ook: toenemende concurrentie voor posities. Bondscoach Ronald Koeman heeft voor het eerst luxeproblemen.
NI and Slovenia matches: Voorselectie Nederlands elftal Doel: Marco Bizot (AZ), Jasper Cillessen (Valencia), Kenneth Vermeer (Feyenoord) en Jeroen Zoet (PSV). Verdediging: Patrick van Aanholt (Crystal Palace), Nathan Aké (AFC Bournemouth), Daley Blind (Ajax), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Denzel Dumfries (PSV), Hans Hateboer (Atalanta Bergamo), Matthijs de Ligt (Juventus), Joël Veltman (Ajax), en Stefan de Vrij (Internazionale). Middenveld: Donny van de Beek (Ajax), Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona), Davy Pröpper (Brighton & Hove Albion), Marten de Roon (Atalanta Bergamo), Kevin Strootman (Olympique Marseille), Tonny Vilhena (Krasnodar) en Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool). Aanval: Ryan Babel (Galatasaray), Steven Berghuis (Feyenoord), Memphis Depay (Olympique Lyon), Luuk de Jong (Sevilla), Donyell Malen (PSV), Quincy Promes (Ajax), Calving Stengs (AZ) en Wout Weghorst (VfL Wolfsburg).
Happy to see Stengs and Weghorst, i only hope they won' be cut. Koopmeiners is very underrated, he should be in the squad instead of Vilhena.
Awesome for Stengs and Westhorst! Both fairly undeniable at this point... although I have a feeling Westhorst will still be cut. Koopmeiers definitely deserves a spot over Vilhena and Strootman. I'd like to see Wijndal as well, although in fairness PvA is doing pretty well and hasn't gotten any time either. But I do feel like Wijndal is much more defensively solid.
Cillessen seems to have had a bad day: https://www.fcupdate.nl/voetbalnieu...ng-speelt-gelijk-tegen-blunderende-cillessen/ Bankzitter De Jong speelt gelijk tegen blunderende Cillessen Met Luuk de Jong negentig minuten op de bank heeft Sevilla woensdagavond gelijkgespeeld tegen het Valencia van Jasper Cillessen.…
