Hockey player Brinkman wants to cause some ‘misery’ for top favorites

Captain Thierry Brinkman (27) hopes that the Dutch team can cause some ‘misery’ for the top favorites at the World Cup hockey. With eleven World Cup debutants in the team of national coach Jeroen Delmee, the Netherlands is not a top favorite, but there are the necessary ambitions. “I think we are good enough to get through the quarter-finals. From there, the question is whether we can really peak and provide something good,” says Brinkman.
