Valente’s Selection Sparks Debate Among Analysts

omidbasir- Luciano Valente has received his first call-up to the Dutch national team by coach Ronald Koeman.

While some have suggested that this opportunity is merely a ‘trial phase’ for the Feyenoord midfielder, analyst Hans Kraaij Jr. vehemently disagrees with this characterization.

In his column for Voetbal International, Kraaij states, “Trial phase… Trial phase… What nonsense! I believe that Valente has been called up because Koeman considers him to be among the 25 best Dutch players.”
