You're so right of course. I forgot to mention that when Jonk became a bit more media savvy, he actually showed a very funny side of him. Dry humor, self-depreciating (is thst the term), self-mockery and such... He did try out as footbsll-analyst as well on tv, can't remember when but must have been during Van Gaal's tenure as manager, but he was hopeless. He couldn't play the game, if you know what I mean. Couldn't do the "talking heads" thing and was basically boring as hell. He has a good eye for the game, but the way he said it...he was voted off the screen... Like Ronald Spelbos. Ex-AZ, ex-Ajax and ex-Oranje central defender. And ex-manager of course. Question: Ronald, do you also feel Oranje's left wing was underused in the first half? Ronald: Well, eh...you know...it's sometimes hard to judge when...eh...from here....I mean...eh....what I did see....and I'm only talking about the first half now...eh...but eh....I think...they could have....eh....used the left wing better....eh.....
