Jack van Gelder indicated this week in the Oranjezomer that he does not want to join Inside in today because he does not have a click with Wilfred Genee. Where exactly does that come from? “Crawl.”
Many faces that can be seen in the Oranjezomer sometimes join in today inside, albeit at the table, albeit on the bar stool. Jack van Gelder, however, remains faithful to Hélène Hendriks, because we never see him popping up at VI. What is that about? He gave clarity about this this week: “Wilfred and I don’t really have a match with each other.”
Competition
Where does that come from? Well, from the time that Jack was a presenter of Studio Voetbal and Wilfred regularly criticized him in VI, then called Voetbal International. Once Jack really exploded, namely during a long interview in the radio program Sports club 1890 on RTV Noord-Holland.
Jack then spoke extensively about the competition. “There is no brake on it. We are very satisfied with the tenth season and still score above million. I always like that, because Voetbal International has the most fans, but we have the most viewers. An older audience, but last Sunday 1.2 million, she 750 thousand.”
Rather in VI
Somewhere Jack already looked at VI with admiration. “Would we want something different? No, this is our formula. We make a journalism good program in which every now and then is laughed and discussed. I love the entertainment.”
“If you say to me now:” What would you rather have presented, Voetbal International or Studio Voetbal? “Then I would have doubted, because I like to work with music and the public, but not in the form on which they work, because I sometimes find it too banal and superficial, but I like the atmosphere.”
School cabaret
Jack stuck that there was no admiration. “I have always said that I think it is a very nice program, that they have a lot of fans, that we have more and figuratively more viewers, no problem. I have no problem with them.”
“We are never talking about Voetbal International in the broadcast and every now and then they apparently need ourselves to score by handing out a sneer to something that happened to us in the broadcast. I think that is a school cabaret. I don’t need that. We can keep ourselves well without talking about Genee or Derksen.”
Crawl
With whom Jack had the most difficulty? “I don’t have a hard time with Johan Derksen and I don’t think Van der Gijp, but I think Genee is a underhanded boy. I think it’s just a crawl. Yes. Yes. I don’t have to give it an example. I think you just have to look at his face and that you know enough.”
“I never understand why he should give me up like that. I don’t think I deserve it. If he has certain jealousy … I can imagine if you sit in the Kürhaus for a whole summer while I am standing on the fields and talk to the players before and after the game, and also do the competition report, that you are jealous.” ””
Jealous
Ah, so it was all jealousy from Wilfred. “And if a vileinity arises from jealousy, then I have said something that I mean now and then, but shouldn’t call. I hope that people are just a bit more tolerant. I have now destroyed myself vulnerably, but I don’t like it and I don’t think I deserve it.”
Years later, Wilfred Jack met again in a restaurant. The VI-star earlier: “I walk to Jack and say:” Hey Jack, my favorite TV presenter! How are you? ” He said, “That’s not mutual!” And then he turned with his back to me.
