The Dutch star shines at the World Cup: Gakpo in the company of Sneijder, Neskens and Bergkamp
The representative of the Netherlands, Cody Gakpo is the first player in the history of the "Tulips" to score at least one goal in the first three matches of the World Cup.
The PSV player contributed to the new triumph of the Dutch national team on The World Cup in Qatar for winning first place in group "A".
Gakpo has scored three goals at the 2022 WC so far, having previously scored once against Senegal and Ecuador in the first two rounds.
Gakpo also joined them Joan Neskens (1974) Dennis Bergkamp (1994) and Wesley Snyder (2010) who also entered the list of scorers in three World Cup matches in a row.
- We all work as a team, we help each other. I have scored three goals so far, but we do it all together. Of course it's a good feeling, but the most important thing is that we made it to the round of XNUMX. I have no particular desire for the next phase, we will watch the other matches and see what happens - said Gakpo after the match against Qatar.
