In addition to Today Inside, Wilfred Genee now also presents the new football talk show Veronica Offside, the successor to Veronica Inside, twice a week. In this, Wesley Sneijder sits in the old place of René van der Gijp. The former football player immediately indicated that he had hardly watched any matches. “I don’t have time for that.”

spicy criticism

Not watching matches, but wanting to analyze them for a lot of money on television. Inexistence, Minouche van der Gijp thinks it is. René’s wife thinks they should exchange Wesley for someone like Rafael van der Vaart. She expressed her strong criticism during the broadcast in a story on Instagram, but she deleted it not much later.

Wilfred Genee told René yesterday in Today Inside: “Do you think he is good or bad, Sneijder? Because within the family there was some ambiguity about it, I saw?”

René: “No, not at all.”

Pretty absurd

René agrees with the criticism of Wesley. “I looked at you when I got home. I did enjoy myself. I must also say that I have always found that Sneijder an interesting guy. Also his manners and his doings and don’ts. He also resembles Gullit, I think, in his boundless confidence in himself.”

He continues: “So they will say things that are apparently quite normal to them, but what you as a viewer think: yes… Like saying: ‘I am an analyst here, but I don’t watch matches.’ That seems pretty absurd to me. “

K*tboek

It seems René chooses his words carefully so as not to spark a media squabble, but he seems to think Wesley is a poor choice as a football analyst.

René: “I think Sneijder is an interesting guy anyway and that’s why I read his book. I just think it’s such a shame that it’s a shit book. He doesn’t want to say anything about his family, nothing about his career, nothing about trainers he’s worked with. What do you do with it? It’s a book nothing.”
