The star forward of Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, Santiago Gimenezpointed out this Wednesday that the selection of Surinam could have one of the best teams if they could count on the football players born in the country located in South America, but who preferred to represent Netherlands.
This was said by the son of “Chaco” Giménez at a press conference, prior to the first meeting of Mexico in the new edition of the Concacaf Nations League:
“I know a lot of Surinamese players, because it is also true that there are a lot of Surinamese people in the Netherlands, there are many at Feyenoord. They are players on another level. Suriname could be a power if many players from the Netherlands came to play here, although I don’t know them and I don’t know who is here, they can be a power because there are great players from this country in the Netherlands.”
Suriname, formerly was considered a Dutch colonyand, although it has achieved independence, it still has ties with the European country, which helps to have soccer players from the team that plays in Concacaf on the Old Continent.
Therefore, unlike Mexico, I would have more players in top clubs, even as figures. Among them are:
