Weghorst Nets Decisive Goal
Wout Weghorst proved to be the hero for the Netherlands as they narrowly defeated Poland 2-1 in their opening match of Euro 2024.
Van Nistelrooy Impresses with No. 9
PSV Eindhoven manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, a legendary Dutch striker, has praised Weghorst's performance. Van Nistelrooy, who played a similar role as a "No. 9" during his playing days, believes Weghorst has the skills to excel at international level.
Opta stats show that Weghorst has now surpassed former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, becoming the leading goalscorer among Dutch players.
A False Start Averted
The Dutch national team faced a potential setback early in the tournament when they went behind to Poland. However, Weghorst's timely intervention ensured that they started their campaign with a victory.
Conclusion
Wout Weghorst's performance serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the "No. 9" role in football. His ability to score crucial goals is a vital asset for the Netherlands as they aim to challenge for the Euro 2024 title.
