Leonne Stentler Excited by New Names Announced
Leonne Stentler has expressed her enthusiasm regarding the recent selections made by the Dutch national football coach, Arjan Veurink. During Veurink’s debut as head coach of the OranjeLeeuwinnen, he made notable choices, particularly positioning Janou Levels as left-back and Esmee Brugts as left winger in the match against Poland.
Arjan Veurink’s Debut as Coach
On the night of Veurink’s first game, he opted for a fresh tactical approach. Stentler remarked on the logical decision to include Levels, who had previously impressed at Bayer Leverkusen. “It was surprising that she wasn’t selected for the European Championship,” Stentler noted, emphasizing Levels’ vital role in her club.
Janou Levels and Esmee Brugts
Levels is known for her speed and offensive capabilities. Stentler highlighted, “She has earned a transfer to Wolfsburg, where she is thriving.” Her selection, along with Marisa Olislagers, was indicative of a shift in the team’s strategy. Stentler anticipated that Brugts would shine in her new role as a left winger.
- Janou Levels: Speedy and influential player.
- Esmee Brugts: Transitioning from left-back to left winger.
- Marisa Olislagers: Another significant addition to the squad.
Brugts has experience playing a wingback role at FC Barcelona. “At Barcelona, she is almost an extra ten on the field,” Stentler explained. The tactical shift in the national team aims to alleviate pressure on Brugts, allowing her to showcase her skills more freely.
Future Outlook
Stentler is optimistic about this new direction for the OranjeLeeuwinnen. The strategy intends to empower players by providing clarity in their roles. “This lack of pressure will be fantastic for her, allowing her to excel in her gameplay,” she concluded.
