Vincent Janssen couldn’t stop talking this week in the Netherlands. It’s not because he searches for the limelight, but because the Tottenham Hotspur striker is in such demand, seen as a big part of the future of the national team.
That left space for Janssen to come through and he’s made the striker spot his own. In March, the Netherlands played a match against England at Wembley, and they won 2-1, after Janssen had converted a penalty to equalise.
The Dutchman says his new Tottenham teammates were imprerssed by the game, and confused as to why the Netherlands didn’t qualify. Quoted by Voetbal International, Janssen said: “That game has surely made an impression. So many players have already asked me how it could that the Oranje were not in France.
“I’m glad we have launched a new path, so the sight is directed forward. With the World Cup in Russia as a target. We need to be there. We have enough quality, I’m convinced.”
