When asked whether it could overshadow the celebrations, the Dutchman said: “I don’t think so. It shouldn't. There's a lot more players that also deserve an amazing day. I don’t think it will. It is what it is.

"I think the manager (Arne Slot) said it right that you can’t decide how anyone feels about the decision he made for him and his family. The reaction happened. He has to deal with it.

“We as a team have to deal with that as well. But I think maybe he expected this. We have two more games and then we part ways and he will go somewhere else.
