The Technique Deputy of National Team Board (BTN), Iman Arif said that we need player like Sergio and until now he is a first choice.
Lately, the BTN discussed with Sergio about the things that are necessary for him to be stripped citizens with Dutch citizenship status. Initially, Sergio needed more detailed explanations related to his future, such as compensation for anything that obtained when he suffered an injury that failed to become the first squad. Basically, Sergio wanted to reach an agreement with the BTN on a black and white.
“Yes, I am ready to give my Dutch citizens”, said Sergio by phone.
Hearing the news, Sergio is increasingly eager to continue discussions with the BTN, as a first step before uniformed Red-White.
“I spoke with my management, and I think this the time to talk more formally with the BTN. I am really excited, impatient, and I hope everything is completed in the next few weeks”, says Sergio.
