Always smiling Frenkie, panna cage of Teun and ‘De Beer van Wasmeer’: amateurs very proud of their internationals | Dutch football

Only the team photo of Frenkie de Jong at ASV Arkel is beautiful. He, a small blond man, presses his knees against the grass in the midst of his teammates. His white-blue shirt shows the names Ria & Jan, main sponsors of the pupil team, in which a grandson of Ria plays. And there is a ball in front of Frenkie, just as the ball has always stuck to the then very young football player as a kind of extra body part.
