Spanish Football Association surprised by Lamine Yamal’s late withdrawal

‘Louis van Gaal shot John Heitinga in the neck’

In a new episode of the football podcast Kick-off, Valentijn Driessen, Mike Verweij and Pim Sedee look back in detail at the achievements of Dutch clubs in Europe. After Ajax’s hopeless loss, John Heitinga had to leave the field. Mike Verweij explains how Ajax’s directors came to this choice. Furthermore, a number of names are floating around the Johan Cruijff Arena to fill the vacant position. Feyenoord lost to Stuttgart, but impressed with the game, the standout was Luciano Valente who, according to Driessen, was rightly called up for the Dutch team. Furthermore: FC Utrecht draws nicely, PSV has its affairs in excellent order and Crystal Palace is a size too big for the ‘boys’ of AZ. The football podcast Kick-off with Valentijn Driessen can also be listened to via Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
