Dutch pundit Derksen: It's sad Ziyech & Amrabat are not bossing Holland midfield

Dutch pundit Johan Derksen admits it's "sad" seeing Hakim Ziych and Sofyan Amrabat playing for Morocco.

Both Chelsea attacker Ziyech and Fiorentina midfielder Amrabat are Dutch born and bred.

Derksen, after seeing France defeat Morocco in yesterday's World Cup semifinal, said: "Do you know what I think is sad when I see Morocco playing?

"That Amrabat and Ziyech are just missing from the Dutch national team. Especially that combination!

"If you see what Amrabat conquers for balls in midfield and what Ziyech sends in passes... That would have been permanent basic force for the Netherlands."
