The war of statements continues between the Dutchman Steven Bergwijn, the Al-Ittihad star, and his compatriot Ronald Koeman, the coach of the Netherlands national team, due to the refusal to call up the player after his transfer to the Saudi League, during the last summer transfer market period.

The player sent a message to Koeman after his brilliance yesterday with Al-Ittihad in sweeping Al-Wahda in the third round of the Roshen League competition with a score of 7-1: “Maybe he should come and see first before he speaks.”

Bergoyne said in his statements to the “Action with Walid” program: “As I said before, the Saudi League is very strong, and there are distinguished players who come here.”

The 26-year-old Dutch player continued: “Therefore, I see that the league here is good and competitive, and I want to prove myself and the world will see the Saudi League.”

Koeman responded that Al-Wahda is not a big team, and is more like Almere City in the Netherlands, and that he will not be able to call up Bergwijn because he played well against a team of this size.
