Dutch Coach: My Main Madrid Players Need More Madrid Playing Time

Netherlands National Football Team
Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk is starting to get ticked off that his two main players, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Rafael van der Vaart, are not getting enough playing time with their club, Real Madrid. He isn’t full on P.O. ‘ed yet, but he’s getting there.

van Marwijk should be concerned about Real’s health overall. While Huntelaar and van der Vaart are two of the better Real Madrid/Dutch players, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder also play on both teams and provide valuable contributions. Real Madrid has turned into real breeding ground for Dutch football. Clarence Seerdoff did time at both squads as did Ruud van Nistelrooy until he quit the Dutch team last year. And newcomer Royston Drenthe currently plays the wing for los blancos with the hopes that he’ll someday play for his country.

I’ll just assume that Bert van Marwijk isn’t a Barcelona fan.
