Guus Til Shines for PSV, but Van der Vaart and Van Basten Raise Concerns for National Team

Guus Til was the standout player for PSV on Sunday, netting three goals in a commanding 5-1 victory over AZ, solidifying his impact as a temporary striker for the reigning champions.

Despite his impressive performance, former players Rafael van der Vaart and Marco van Basten argue against his selection for the national team. Van der Vaart highlighted the availability of better options for the striker position, stating, “There are certainly enough quality players available: Memphis, Weghorst, Brobbey is beginning to score, and Malen. Therefore, I believe Til is not yet deserving of a call-up.”

Van Basten echoed this sentiment, suggesting that Til lacks certain specific qualities required for the striker role. He remarked, “A striker has more specific demands. While converting a playmaker into a striker is feasible, as Til has demonstrated, he still has areas to improve.”
