Nothing but respect for these legends

This is how we all feel today.

Through good times and bad. Gakpo and Verbruggen are our heroes ❤️

The media is, of course, ruthless.

“They played badly.”

But when we win, suddenly it becomes: “We won.”

As Louis van Gaal once said: “Only one can win. So it’s really not that easy.”

And when you go for it, things can sometimes go wrong.

It hurts, because the previous matches were great. They gave us hope.

That’s exactly why this defeat against Morocco hits even harder.

But let’s not forget: they did well. Every single one of them is a fighter who gave everything.

We can be proud of our team. This time, it just wasn’t meant to be. Morocco finished it off very well. Compliments and congratulations.

And let’s not immediately punish our team in the media. Try doing it yourself first.

Entrepreneurship is actually exactly the same. Afterwards, everyone has an opinion about what could have been done better. But only the people who step onto the pitch take the risk of winning and losing.

Nothing but respect for these legends. And Koeman, of course. Well done 🇳🇱

Show me the magic in real life 🪄
