Matt Wiffer has made himself a contender for a place in the Netherlands’ squad for this summer’s World Cup with a late revival at Brighton.
26 year old Reinvented as a right-back And has now made 21 appearances for the Seagulls in that position this season. In comparison, he has made only five appearances in his usual defensive midfield position.
But due to the recent injury to Jerdie Schouten, a position in midfield has opened up in the Netherlands team. However, Wiffer insists that he has no influence on it.
“First of all, it’s obviously very sad for her. It’s really terrible,” he told Viaplay.
“As far as I’m concerned… I don’t really have any influence on that aspect. Ultimately, I just do my job.”
“I’m not currently playing in that sixth position, but I think I’ll be there often. And I’ve actually played there for almost my entire career. So filling that spot wouldn’t really be a problem in that regard.”
No contact with Koeman
If he were to ensure a return to the international system, the Brighton man would probably have heard from Ronald Koeman by now.
Instead, it appears the two have not spoken since Matt Wiefer called five or six months ago.
“Ultimately, the national coach decides what he wants and what he is looking for,” he said.
“I’m really hoping I’ll get in. I called him once five or six months ago. But I haven’t really talked to him since.”
