“Fortunately, the training sessions of the first team are all in English,” De Boer continues. “The plan is now that I can first get used to it and later if everything goes well, I can move on to the first team.”
“What also takes a lot of getting used to is that they all communicate here via Facebook. They don’t know WhatsApp. There is a Facebook group in which information is shared. I am not a hero with Facebook, so that is a bit of switching. Fortunately this is also getting better,” De Boer says about the differences with the Netherlands.
No need
During the finals won by VZV, De Boer told NH Sport that they Not immediately had the need to go abroad. Nevertheless, this summer it came from a step over the national borders. “I had the plan to develop myself for another year at VZV in the Eredivisie. This opportunity is extraordinary and I could not miss. The second level at which the training team plays is still higher than the Eredivisie. And the first even plays in the Champions League.”
