Is Davy Klaassen the ideal number ten? Should national coach Louis van Gaal not let the Dutch national team play more attractively? And is there a world title in it? All questions that the many trainers from our province have an opinion about. This time Lars Keppel. A young Zaanse trainer, who is at the helm at VV Assendelft. “
“I think I look at the World Cup differently than my family or acquaintances,” says Lars Keppel. The 37-year-old coach of VV Assendelft notices that the tournament in Qatar is really starting to come to life. “Especially now that Sinterklaas has left the country and a squatter with Argentina is on the program.”
Typically Dutch
After a convincing victory over the United States, positivity is increasing among the Orange fans. And the appreciation for the defensive style of the Dutch national team is growing. “It is typically Dutch that we have to win with good football, but it is finally about the result.”

Louis van Gaal
A few times a week, Louis van Gaal sits behind the press table in Doha and answers the many questions from the journalists present. Time after time leads to hilarious situations.

“I do think that Van Gaal can make Orange world champions,” said a hopeful Keppel. Who chooses the attacking duo Depay and Steven Bergwijn. The Ajax player is no longer sure of a basic place, but Keppel still expresses his confidence for the fast Amsterdammer. “I would not choose Davy Klaassen out of ten and put Cody Gakpo there, so that Bergwijn can be in the front.”
The Netherlands – Argentina starts tonight at 8 p.m.
