‘Don’t treat players like that’: Bergwijn attacks Koeman over Netherlands snub

Forward not in coach’s plan after move to Saudi Arabia.

HITTING BACK: Steven Bergwijn.

Steven Bergwijn has hit out at the Netherlands coach, Ronald Koeman, for shutting the door on his international career because of a move to Saudi Arabia. 

The 26-year-old forward was accused by Koeman of lacking “sporting ambition” after leaving Ajax for Al-Ittihad on Monday, and will not be considered for selection.
