“But I think he can and should be even better. He is now playing at a big club for the first time. A lot is expected of him,” Van Bommel continued, who watches his son’s matches full of excitement. “I am more nervous than when I trained or played myself.”

“I am particularly proud,” Van Bommel continued. “It is not that I discuss everything with him. I say what I think, but I am also a fan and I am in the stands. Like father and son.”
