Louis van Gaal may have prophetic gifts, but maybe it's just his older age: At 71, the Bonds coach is one of the more experienced men among the World Cup coaches. In any case, before the game against Ecuador on Thursday afternoon in Doha, he was asked whether Cody Gakpo could become a new star in the football sky. "He's a very talented player, but he's very young. I don't know if he'll become a star here," replied the Dutch coach. "But he has the potential. He can become a star.”
Around 28 hours after van Gaal's assessment, his 23-year-old gifted boy should take the next step up the career ladder. Gakpo was again his team's leading scorer in the 1-1 (1-0) win against Ecuador. In cooperation with ex-Bremen Davy Klaassen, the offensive man pulled into the middle and then released such a powerful shot from 17 meters with his left that Ecuador's goalkeeper Hernan Galindez could only watch the ball (6th).
After the late 1-0 (84th minute) in the 2-0 opening win over African champions Senegal last Monday, this was already Gakpo's second stroke of genius in these global title fights in Qatar. The professional, who still earns his money at home with PSV Eindhoven, also benefited from the fact that FC Barcelona's Memphis Depay, who was actually seeded, does not yet have the physical requirements to play the full season after a long injury break. But you have to take advantage of such chances as impressively as Gakpo, who has only played eleven internationals for "Oranje" so far. “He's still developing and still has a lot of room for improvement. But he has the personality to do it," said van Gaal.
The fact that on Friday evening in front of 44,833 spectators in the Khalifa Stadium for the self-proclaimed title contender in the duel with the South Americans was not enough for the early round of 16 qualification was due on the one hand to the strong opponent and on the other hand to another star of the previous World Cup: Enner Valencia scored the equalizer in the 49th minute. The 33-year-old Fenerbahce SK forward even scored twice in the opening game against Qatar and is now the World Cup's top scorer. His colleague Gonzalo Plata missed the chance of victory with a shot at the crossbar during the second half.
Whether Valencia will be able to take part in Tuesday's final group game against Senegal is unclear. He was taken off the field on a stretcher just before the final whistle after suffering a knee injury. Gakpo was already out there too, but for reasons of strength and not because of an injury. One can already look forward to further performances by the highly talented Dutchman, who play against the already eliminated hosts on Tuesday, and by the veteran star of the Ecuadorians.
The Qatar national team also loses the second game and has no chance of reaching the round of 16. After Qatar are denied a penalty, a disastrous buck initiates the defeat against Senegal. The highlights in the video.
