Pierie approached by the United States Football

"There were contacts, they also know that I was born in America and therefore have a passport for both countries, but of course I am completely Dutch," says Pierie, who could maybe ask the Interland period in November to the American federation, where Earnest Stewart (ex-AZ and ex-NAC) is the technical director.

,, Of course, I said that I had not thought about it yet, that seems logical to me, "says Pierie, a member of the Eredivisie since the age of 16 and who It's only at the beginning of his career (Orange) .I am now 18 years old and I play for the National Under 19, I'm proud of it.For the moment, it's not an element and it's way too early to talk about choices.You never know how it's going.Sign up that you get approached around four o'clock for the US team and not for the US. Dutch national team … "

For Pierie, it seems very logical at this stage of his career to focus on the Dutch national teams." But what if in a few weeks an invitation for the Orange Under 20 or the Juniors arrives and one for the US team? "If they are on the sidewalk in a month, I will look further. For the moment, this is not an element. You caress of course that a beautiful country like America contacts, but I am above all a proud Dutchman, with a complete Dutch family and it would of course be wonderful to play for that. "

It is no wonder that Americans have discovered a talent like Pierie, who moved to Leeuwarden with his parents three months after his birth in Boston and still lives there. The United States will play the World Cup in 2026 and Pierie should be at the peak of his career.

The United States has always triggered it. "I have always found America very impressive.Although I was Slovak with Hungarian parents, I thought the country was still very beautiful.He has it all.And the mentality: the sky is the limit I like it.I have no connection with the country in terms of family.But culture, mentality and sports culture have always made something for me. "

Pierie has previously indicated that his dream for the future was to live in the United States after his career.The KNVB seems to be able to return to the surface for the defender, who should anyway be part of the new Dutch Junior, for which he could debut in November.
