Van Dijk has confirmed his commitment to the Netherlands national team through at least the 2026 World Cup after a pivotal discussion with coach Koeman.
Koeman emphasized the importance of face-to-face talks with Van Dijk to gauge his commitment, saying, 'I thought it was so important to go to him to see and feel with him...And he does.'
While Koeman praised Van Dijk's leadership, he acknowledged the defender didn't perform to expectations during the European Championship, illuminating the strain of being captain.
On Steven Bergwijn, Koeman declared, 'The book is basically closed to him...When you are 26 [years old], your main focus should be... to deliver results for the national team.'
