To continue at the press conference: ,,Of course he is not in the best phase of his career and in his own skin. “Gini” has to accept the choice that the national coach has made and he must do everything he can to come back in the selection.”
Van Dijk believes that Wijnaldum is important in the selection. “On the field, but also off it. We will see. He is now relaxing and focusing on next season. That will start soon. It is important for him that he knows where he stands at his club.”
And: ,,He has to get a smile on his face again, which we all miss, which I also want to see again. I am confident, with his qualities and mentality, that we will see him again soon.”
