Andries Noppert from Marum will be under the bar as goalkeeper of Orange on Monday, when the team of national coach Louis van Gaal kicks off the World Cup against Senegal. Do you think it is right that the goalkeeper of SC Heerenveen makes his debut at the highest level? Respond to the statement of the day.
Who could have thought of that a few seasons ago: Andries Noppert as goalkeeper of the Dutch national team. This unlikely scenario now seems to be coming true. Although Van Gaal did not want to say anything about it during the press conference on Sunday, all signals are green for the Marumer in Frisian service.
Noppert played less than a minute in the Orange squad. The goalkeeper position was already the most discussed place in the team. NEC goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen seemed to have a good chance of winning the coveted place for a long time, but was told by goalkeeper coach Frans Hoek that there is no place for him in the selection at all.
Hoek and Van Gaal surprise again with the choice of Noppert. Do you think it is right that the Marumer keeps Monday? Let us know.
