The dislike was triggered because Patrick Kluivert Pastoor, Landzaat, and other Dutch staff just stayed on the bench not approaching supporters who were willing to watch live at the Saudi Arabian stadium. On the other hand, all the national team players approached the fans.
The behavior of Kluivert and his staff has made supporters of the National Team in Saudi Arabia, Garuda Saudi, express their disappointment on social media.
"Are you a coward or don't care? We came to sacrifice our time, energy, and costs, some of us even have to be trampled on, arrested by the police, underestimated by security, thrown here and there. All for one thing: support the Red and White wholeheartedly," said Garuda Saudi statement on Instagram.
