Aan de Mos says that Jasper Cillessen has been told by Louis van Gaal that heโll be the first-choice goalkeeper at the World Cup.
With Justin Bijlow dropping out of the squad after a poor run of form at Feyenoord, Cillessen was expected to be the Netherlandsโ starting goalkeeper, but Ajaxโs Remko Pasveer was the one to play in the sideโs last two matches against Poland and Belgium.
Cillessen said after the end of the international break that he wasnโt worried by this, and former manager De Mos says the 33-year-old has been told by Van Gaal and goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek that heโll start in Qatar.
โThe hype around Pasveer was a bubble, which was punctured against Napoli,โ he told Omroep Gelderland.
โJasper Cillessen has that experience and he has long known from Frans Hoek and Louis van Gaal that he is the first-choice goalkeeper at the World Cup.โ
