"I don't even want to play under Koeman anymore. If he had been a committed national coach, he would have called me first. Now I had to hear about it on TV. I've had many beautiful moments with him, so this is far too easy and I'm disappointed with him."
"I have always considered it an honour to play for Oranje. But under this national coach, I no longer want to do that. With someone who deliberately portrays me like that in the media, I am done. But who knows if there will be a new national coach in the future."
"I myself will never close the door. And I will only support my teammates at Oranje, just as they do with me. I have only received good messages from the internationals after my transfer. Everyone is happy for me. That is how it can be."
"He could have stayed at Ajax, couldn't he? And I think they pay OK at Ajax too," Koeman said. This statement reflects Koeman's frustration at Bergwijn's decision to move to Saudi Arabia rather than remain in European football.
