Gini Wijnaldum REACTS to Euro - 2020 postponement and SENDS a MESSAGE to fans

Liverpool’s Georginio Wijnaldum is disappointed with the Euro - 2020 postponement, but indicates the importance of health and security.  The Netherlands international was part of Ronald Koeman’s side that managed to qualify for their first major tournament in 6 years.  For the first time since 2014, Netherlands are not only among the participating teams, but favourites to win the European title. However, they should wait for another year to play in the European championship.  “No @EURO2020  this summer. Disappointing for the fans and everyone involved, but it's health and safety above all. Please follow all health instructions and respect the tough decisions necessary to keep you and other people safe” Wijnaldum wrote on twitter.
