Abcoude – He didn’t expect it, but he was in the base. Matthijs de Ligt made his World Cup debut in the opening match of the Orange during the World Cup in Qatar. And that as a basic player. The native of Abcoude has not been assured of a place in the first eleven lately. Usually Jurriën Timber from Utrecht was preferred. “When I look at where I stood compared to other guys, I didn’t expect it,” said De Ligt against NOS. “I’ve known for a few days. I was told at the beginning of the week.”
