Luciano Valente Makes Debut as Oranje International

Luciano Valente can now officially be referred to as an Oranje international. During the match against Lithuania, the Feyenoord player made his first appearance for the Dutch national team. Here’s a recap of Valente’s debut.

Although his call-up to the national squad came swiftly, Valente had to wait until Monday evening for his debut. In the second half, he was seen warming up for an extended period, observing as Emmanuel Emegha, Quinten Timber, and Lutsharel Geertruida substituted in before him. Given that Ronald Koeman hinted at the possibility of Valente’s debut during a press conference the previous day, it was anticipated during the 4-0 scoreline.
