Ten Cate backs Summerville over Malen for Morocco clash

Henk ten Cate says he would start Crysencio Summerville for the Netherlands against Morocco, a view expressed today. Willem van Hanegem, meanwhile, argues that Donyell Malen should occupy the right‑wing position. The contrasting opinions surface as the match approaches. Willem van Hanegem opens his comments with a Dutch quotation: "Ik weet het niet. Misschien niet in die wedstrijd. Ik zou altijd met Malen starten. Hij zit er al veel langer bij." He stresses Malen's longer involvement with the squad. Ten Cate responds with his own Dutch quotation: "Hij is duidelijk in vorm en Malen is dat niet. Je moet wel rekening houden met het feit dat Dumfries beter functioneert met Malen voor zich." He highlights Summerville's current form and tactical considerations.
