Koeman had closed the door on calling Bergwijn to play with The Dutch national team, after moving to the Union.

He added: “I’ve had a lot of great times with him, so it’s very easy and I’m disappointed. He previously had a general opinion of Brian.” Proby, who was not nice either and who thought he was useless.”

He added: “This is not the way you treat your players, and if he continues like this he will lose his credibility.” Completely.”

He stressed: “I am 1000% satisfied with my choice of Al-Ittihad, and I am happy with my new club. I have always considered it an honor for me to play for the Dutch national team, but under... Leading this coach, I don’t want that anymore.”

He concluded: “The Saudi League is stronger than the Dutch League, as Kante played For one season with Al-Ittihad in the Saudi League, he was one of the best Euro players, as was Aymeric Laporte. The Saudi League is very strong.”
