I still have my debut made, where do you do it for,” said the player of Atalanta Bergamo against FOX Sports. “I hare just received. That they take me off more.”

“Everyone gave me congratulations and they are happy for me. It was quite nice. It is used to it, you’re playing for the first time in the composition and in this system. The” know Hateboer.

‘Logical’

Strange is that, according to the defender. “We lost the ball quickly, we were sloppy. That has to do with the system. The alignment is still not completely in order. But that is also logical.”

Hateboer left at the beginning of last year to Atalanta. That step gave him his first minutes in the Dutch national team. “That I had not thought of that, but I had hoped for. If you make the step to Atalanta, don’t you think one, two, three: a year later, I am in Orange. But it has worked out very well.”
