Donyell Malen says he's glad he missed the 2022 World Cup. The Roma attacker, speaking about his international career with the Netherlands, admitted: "Looking back, I'm happy about it" (1). The quote comes years after Louis van Gaal left him out of the Oranje squad for Qatar, a decision that stung at the time but one Malen now sees differently.
