After Oranje's controversial 2-1 defeat, Ten Hag said in his role as pundit for NOS: “The drive he has, the passion with which he wins balls and recognises situations: great.

"His enormous drive too. That is almost un-Dutch.

“I think that shows that he was trained abroad. He has an almost Southern European tenacity in his game.”
