Super Eagles’ new invitee, Cyriel Dessers says he won’t be pleased if the current Eredivisie season was abandoned given the question mark that will come with his name as the top scorer of the 2019/20 campaign.
The 25-year-old is joint-top scorer of the league along with Feyenoord’s Steven Berghuis with 15 goals.
Just like most leagues in Europe, the Dutch top-flight has been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic and the striker is concerned with the way his name would go down in the history of the league if it is not completed.
“If the competition would stop now, I would be a top scorer, I know. I would be a quiz question forever,” Dessers told Het Nieuwsblad via voetbalprimeur.
“But there would also be an asterisk forever after my name because the season is not finished. That would be a shame.”
The Heracles Almelo forward added that he refused to return to his country of birth, Belgium, during the coronavirus crisis to limit the risk of his family contracting the virus.
“I stayed with my girlfriend in Apeldoorn, to limit the risk for the family. Carnival is not as well celebrated here as in Brabant or Limburg and so the situation is not too bad,” he said.
“Heracles also provides variety. We are sent yoga sessions and do zoom training with the team – nice to see each other again and to joke.”
