According to some analytical approaches, these two players could become "The Dutch Dynamic Duo". Of course, we need to observe a lot of factors:

- club coaching, ambitions, training level

Bas Dost, as a northern European, with discipline plays really well in temperament Portuguese atmosphere.

Facts about Sporting C.P. school:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporting_C.P._Youth_and_Academy

"Famous for its football youth academy system which features a range of well-equipped facilities and is one of the most renowned in the world, Sporting has continuously developed many world class footballers, such as Ballon d'Or recipients Cristiano Ronaldo and Luís Figo. The current squad for the 2015-2016 season has 11 players graduated from their youth ranks, including Rui Patrício, William Carvalho, João Mário, Adrien Silva, André Martins, Rúben Semedo, Carlos Mané,Ricardo Esgaio, Tobias Figueiredo, Gelson Martins and Matheus Pereira."

Why would such club buy a player Bas Dost, if he isn't really excellent football performer?

Sporting has strong ambitions, long tradition of success. He reminds me on van Nistelrooij. He was also discovered in his older age.

 

Huntelaar is a true goal scorer. Just observe his history and it's visible that he is very useful player, same as Bas Dost and Vincent Janssen. Bas Dost just needs co-players like Overmars, Bergkamp, Kuijt, Robben, Sneijder...the problem occurs if Dost gets one chance and he misses it. Real achievement is when Netherlands creates a lot of chances, as usual in previous periods.

The problem is that Bas Dost isn't ex-player of Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord, so three major fan groups can't affiliate with him. Dutch team always had that element..."great player, Ajax school of football". We observed Dutch players through these three clubs. Bas Dost went abroad without these three clubs, maybe even harder way to succeed, Wolfsburg, Sporting. Maybe with these three clubs as his youth domain, he would be already in Manchester United, Bayern, Juventus. In fact, he seems as Juventus material. Slightly static, but with goal instinct.

For example, the match against France was really modest, very opposite from everything that I knew about the Netherlands. This Dutch chapter seems different than previous chapters, some new characters entered in the show. Key thing is that they act well.

In some previous decades/years, people considered de Zeeuw, Mario Melchiot, Heitinga, Mathijsen, Engelaar, Bouma, Maduro, Landzaat, Kromkamp, Ryan Babel, Andre Ooijer as average, even weak players, compared with other known Dutch players. But in 2016, they would be useful. I believe that people will say the same for Dost and Janssen. Bad in 2016, great in 2022. People cross very easy some players. Just observe, how many players became changed in Dutch team. Club football should evolve again, so that we can see Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV, maybe AZ, Heerenveen, Utrecht, Willem II. etc.

NEC Nijmegen and NAC Breda was a solid derby once.

 

Tap in artists, like Mario Gomez, Miroslav Klose, F. Inzaghi, Christophe Dugarry and other title holders. Nothing bad with tap in element.

 

Haven't heard for that player, for a moment I thought that you have invented this surname Van Wolfswinkel, it sounds like a medical person in some detention center...dr. Wolfsvinkel. Yes, he scored for Sporting L. a lot. Another case of a player who went out from the Netherlands without the clubs Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV as his career clubs. This is major success.

 

Klaas Jan Huntelaar (Class Hunter).

He started in PSV, usually their players are much more disciplined, focused on tactics. Ajax and Feyenoord seem much more creative. Maybe he is not La Liga, Serie A material, but for sure he is type for the Premierleague, Bundesliga, Eredivisie. Huntelaar is the second goal scorer of the Netherlands, he left Kluivert, Bergkamp, van Nistelrooij, Cruyff, Robben, Sneijder behind. I think that he could catch top scorer van Persie.

Speaking in numbers: van Persie played 101 matches and he scored 50 goals. Huntelaar played only 76 matches and he scored 42 goals. In contemporary era, Huntelaar has far less caps than his competition.

Imagine that Huntelaar didn't score those 42 goals. In his period, Netherlands had 2nd, 3rd positions at World Cup.

These players are not popular, just because they don't wear glasses, dreadlocks, they are not vibrant in media space, they don't complain, they don't spoil the team spirit.

On the other hand, we see Van Bommel, who ended in the team because of his father in law, became the captain, made a lot of fouls, earned few red cards and he became respected because of the noise that he made.

I think that their silent nature has a lot of influence in creation of public opinion.

Are these Dutch players great players: Ronald de Boer, Youri Mulder, Michael Mols, Frank Verlaat, Orlando Trustfull (he even became current Internazionale Assistant Manager, probably because of his impressive football skills and knowledge), Winston Bogarde, Jordi Cruyff, Boudewijn Zenden, Bert Konterman, Paul Bosvelt, Oude Kamphuis, Romeo Castelen and some others...? I think that they are all weaker than Bas Dost, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Vincent Janssen.

Some players are a product of family connections, they became coaches on some friendly ties.

Some players were underestimated in Netherlands team: Vurnon Anita, Royston Drenthe, Bruno Martins, Jetro Willems, Georginio Wijnaldum, Eljero Elia, Gregory van der Wiel, Ibrahim Afellay, Urby Emanuelson, Hedwiges Maduro, Ryan Babel, Andy van der Meyde, Arnold Bruggink, Andre Ooijer, Roy Makaay, etc. They should become great players, if we consider their talent.

 

​

 

Bayern Muenchen had some really bad players in technical terms: Anatoliy Oleksandrovych Tymoshchuk, Ivica Olic, Danijel Pranjic, maybe 1,2 Brazilian player...so Mark Van Bommel isn't some major exception.

Jordi Cruyff was talented, but not Barcelona, Manchester United material.

Van der Wiel was in some conflict with national team coach. He is very much talented. Some of those players had playful nature and they didn't accept football as some professional programme. Roy Makaay was always in the second plan...he played in Deportivo La Coruna, he created major success for that club.

It's really hard to fit in Dutch team, a lot of players circulated, few coaching experiments were also present. Marco Van Basten should stay, that Dutch generation played very attractive, World Cup 2006.

Personal marketing plays a strong role in promotion of footballers. Kevin Strootman is also underestimated, currently the best central player in his national team. On the other hand media wrote a lot about Sneijder, Van der Vaart, about their girlfriends, religious conversion, hair transplantation....they were also great, but few fashion escapes change public image and create the media stars.

Kevin Strootman is calm, quite, kind, without media publicity, so people place him in the second plan.

 

Sneijder, van der Vaart, Seedorf, Davids, Cocu, Strootman, are much better than van Bommel.

De Telegraaf Report

http://www.football-oranje.com/feyenoord-make-bas-dost-key-target/

"According to De Telegraaf, Feyenoord make VFL Wolfsburg’s Bas Dost their number one transfer target for the 2016/17 season."

He is very appreciated at home.

This worries me a lot.

http://www.101greatgoals.com/news/three-holland-players-went-partying-defeat-france/

The question is, can Bas Dost resist and win against global fame negative consequences?

On the other hand, second talented player Janssen scored amazing goal.

http://talksport.com/football/totte...-stunning-goal-netherlands-video-161007212799

"The 22-year-old looks to have a serious amount of natural talent, and his eye for goal is sure to fire Oranje to great future success."

Firm sports genes and discipline custody.

I have noticed something interesting. Dutch people like to name their male children with female first names?

Mark Peter Gertruda Andreas van Bommel

Vincent Petrus Anna Sebastiaan Janssen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_name

 

In biography of Seedorf it says, Midfielder, same as with Cocu. Only van der Vaart and Sneijder are attacking midfielder players.

Fans of Sporting, chanting The Bas Ode To Joy. You can't trick the demanding audience.
