Legend Ruud Gullit accuses the Dutch national team of racism.
Something that made national team captain Louis van Gaal react.
– It’s just nonsense, he says.
The Netherlands kicked off the Nations League with two straight victories, and tonight the nation will face Poland.
But preparations for the match were affected by the accusations of the former main player Ruud Gullit.
Speaking earlier this week, the former midfielder said there was a racist structure in the Dutch national football team.
More specifically, he believes that black people never get a chance as a coach for the national team.
What was Patrick Kluivert allowed to do in the Dutch national team? Have you led any training? I don’t know. Was Hank Fraser allowed to lead a training session? Maybe one day, I don’t know. Did you lead a course under Dick Advocaat? number! They said I had to stand between the players, but I was never allowed to lead a training session, and Gullit is said to have told Helgen, according to Fotbollskanalen.

– This is the case every time you see black players who are allowed to become assistant coaches! step away!
Van Gaal disputes the allegations
The captain of the Dutch national team, Louis van Gaal, responded to the accusations.
– I am amazed that he can see all this from his home in Amsterdam, or in Italy, whether he is a coach leading the training or not, says Van Gaal and continues:
– That’s nonsense. Edgar Davids’ aide performed a so-called Italian dry exercise this week. I didn’t want to get the players out physically, Davids played for a long time in Serie A, and they do a lot there. David can do it much better than me. Anyone can say something from home and never get questioned – except in cases where the league captain gets the question. Then I give my opinion.
