Criticism from Van Basten
“No development to be seen” with Van Dijk
After the Netherlands' disappointing preliminary round of the European Championship, soccer legend Marco van Basten has called Oranje captain Virgil van Dijk to account.
"He has to lead the team more," said van Basten as a TV pundit after the 2:3 against Austria and third place in the table. "He is the great leader in the team and must organize the whole thing better," said van Basten, who became European champion with the Elftal 36 years ago in Germany.
Van Basten, who scored a dream goal in the 2-0 final against the Soviet Union in 1988, had already criticized van Dijk from time to time in the past. However, the Liverpool FC defender had shown no reaction. "That's a bit disappointing, there's no development to be seen," said van Basten.
