No idea about him as a footballer. I just cannot

understand how a man of his age, born and raised in Utrecht and playing football in Eindhoven can NOT know sufficient English to communicate about football.

Let's face it - if the level of English he requires is that demonstrated by 99% of those involved in football in England, it's not really that hard to reach is it ?
