On Tuesday, the Netherlands will face Germany in the Nations League. There was an incident during the “Elftal” team’s training session. The coach had to intervene.
Tensions in the Dutch national team ahead of the match against Germany on Tuesday (from 8.45 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online): During a training session, former Bundesliga striker Wout Weghorst quarreled with his teammate Jurriën Timber. Coach Ronald Koeman had to intervene.
What had happened? Timber and Weghorst had clashed in a tackle. The defender hit the attacker on the ankle. Weghorst then fell to the ground, but got up again a short time later. He obviously felt fouled by Timber and complained about the tackle.
Weghorst’s anger was so great that Ronald Koeman had to intervene and tried to calm the situation down. But because the former Bundesliga professional (Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim) was still clearly angry a short time later, the coach made an announcement. “And now it’s over,” shouted Koeman.
Afterwards, Weghorst resumed training, visibly annoyed, according to an ESPN report. A little later, he trotted off the field, still looking grumpy. His frustration was evidently still deep. According to the report, Weghorst threw away his jersey. A short time later, the 32-year-old sped back to the hotel alone on his bike.
The Netherlands had a similarly good start to the new Nations League season as Germany on Saturday. While the DFB team beat Hungary 5-0, the “Oranje” rolled over Bosnia-Herzegovina 5-2. Ajax professional Weghorst also contributed a goal to his team’s offensive spectacle.
