Matthijs recently attended a press conference with the Dutch team, revealing that he was even on vacation when he received the unexpected call-up.
Previously, Matthijs was surprisingly dropped from the Champions League final squad by Koeman just before the match, leaving him disappointed and convinced that he wouldn’t get another chance. As a result, he immediately headed to Greece for a holiday.
Matthijs shared that he got a call from Dutch head coach Koeman while on vacation: “I suddenly got a call and had to quickly pack my bags and head here. It’s busy but I’m very happy.” His parents personally brought his football boots from Dortmund to the Dutch team’s location in Wolfsburg.
“I can play in multiple positions, and I’ve played in several this season. Being here is a childhood dream come true, and I’m ready.”
