Remember THIS?
It appears The Netherlands’ men’s coach, Edwin Benne, has forgotten and forgiven Dick Kooy‘s unpleasant attitude over the summer because he has added Dick to the roster for the upcoming pre-Olympic qualifying tournament later this month in Croatia.
He wouldn’t have added Dick if Jeroen Rauwerdink didn’t get injured. Plus, the rest of the team together with the coach had a major major meeting and almost of all of them said that Dick should be invited to be on the team again according to our source.
“Necessity knows no law.” according to Coach Benne who believes that the Dutch team has what it takes to advance to the next tournament which will be the Olympic Qualifying tourney.
Side Dish: Dick will join the following players to train for the tournament: Nimir Abdelaziz, Nico Freriks, Gijs Jorna, Robbert Andringa, Tony Krolis, Niels Klapwijk, Kay van Dijk, Rob Bontje, Wytze Kooistra, Tije Flame, Lars Lorsheijd, Bas van Bemmelen, Robert Horstink, Jeroen Trommel, Jelte Moon and Thijs ter Horst.
We’re glad Coach Benne has given Mr. Kooy, who plays for Italian club team Casa Modena this season, another shot.
The Dutch team needs a lot of work to reclaim their title as one of the best teams in Europe!
