Ronald Koeman Explains Why Liverpool's Jeremie Frimpong Missed the World Cup Squad

Ronald Koeman explained why Jeremie Frimpong is not in the Netherlands World Cup team.

Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman said he left Jeremie Frimpong out of his World Cup squad. Frimpong was a surprise exclusion from the 26-man squad for the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Frimpong had a difficult season with injuries and couldn't secure a regular position. Koeman said a lack of game-time was behind his decision.

Koeman said: 'I didn't choose Frimpong because of what I saw this season. He had physical problems.'

Koeman remembered a match against Ecuador where Frimpong got hurt. He chose another player for the right flank.

While Frimpong missed out, other Liverpool players like Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo are in the squad. The Netherlands will play Japan, Sweden, and Tunisia in the group stage.

Arne Slot said Frimpong's limited outings were a major blow for Liverpool. Frimpong's pace is important when facing low blocks.

Pace is crucial in modern football, especially when facing teams that don't park the bus.

Arne Slot said pace is important for winning the Champions League and being creative in open play.

Liverpool tried to add pace to their team, but they could only use one player with a lot of pace, Hugo Ekitike.

Arne Slot said Jeremie Frimpong's injuries hurt Liverpool.
