Netherlands: Pieters reinvents himself as midfielder: ‘Super proud’

netherlands pieters reinvents himself as midfielder super proud 6891ddfc0739f - Netherlands: Pieters reinvents himself as midfielder: 'Super proud' - After being passed over for the Paris Olympics at the very last minute, Terrance Pieters (28) found himself in one of the darkest periods of his career. The Kampong striker regained his fire thanks to a new challenge: he had himself retrained as a midfielder. 'I worked extremely hard to show my qualities in midfield as well.' On the holy green carpet at the Wagener Stadium in Amstelveen last Friday, the arrow-headed international shows a glimpse of the 'new' Terrance Pieters. During a game form at the training of Oranje he is played on, not as familiar in the striker, but a lot lower on the field, at the left half position. Like a rocket, he races down the left flank with the ball on his stick, past not one, but two defenders, and then continues the attack with a razor-sharp backhand cross. It sums up in one fell swoop why national coach Jeroen Delmée sees a role for him at the European Championship in Mönchengladbach not only as an attacker, but also as a midfielder.
