Senegal-Holland, the Gullit lookalike and that birth before the World Cup. What not to do to be present at Qatar 2022.
What you don’t do to be present at the World Cup. What you don’t do to miss such an important event for footballers. Because as a child, everyone dreams of representing their country at the most important event in the world of football. And if you don’t believe that everyone is really willing, then you haven’t read the news about Manchester City’s Dutch defender Aké, who has also been approached by some Italian teams in the recent past.
Then, the player – who is on the pitch from the start in the match against Senegal – married his partner Kaylee last summer. She was pregnant at the time of the wedding and knew that the last days of the pregnancy would be around 20 November. A difficult date for Aké, who would be in Qatar with the team coached by Van Gaal. So what to do to see her daughter at least for a few days? Here is the answer
Senegal-Holland, induced birth and off to the World Cup

Yes, the player, along with his wife, decided to induce the birth, as he told the Telegraph. “We decided to induce the birth so I could be there. She was supposed to arrive on the 20th, but by that date there was no chance for me to see her. So she arrived just before I left and I was able to spend a couple of days with the baby before joining Holland.” A decision that was obviously made in agreement with his wife, who willingly accepted.
“As a kid you always watch the World Cup so going there was always something I wanted to do,’ Aké said again, almost justifying this choice, ‘and we expect a lot from ourselves. We have to believe that we can win the tournament and then see where we get to in the end,’ he concluded. He meanwhile saw the birth of his daughter and flew away with enormous joy in his heart.
