Not only a prestigious friendly match. The game that
Netherlands will play in Rotterdam (Topsporthall) against
Belgium will give to the national team head coach
Vic Hermans, as well as to the whole dutch futsal, a great chance to pay tribute to three of the best ever futsal players who are leaving their own national team. We are talking about "the" legend
Edwin Grunholz and two more impressive and well known players like
Max Tjaden and
Maarten Frankfort are.
In the messages we received about the "celebration" for those great players, there was also one from the international referee
Toine van Eekelen.
