Home News Trainer Henk Fraser does not take allegations against Beugelsdijk and Meijers seriously

At the beginning of April, the Algemeen Dagblad brought Het Nieuws that Spartas players Tom Beugelsdijk and Aaron Meijers would be involved in the Edobet, an illegal gambling company. A few days later Henk Fraser responded that he is not taking it too seriously.

Beugelsdijk and Meijers, two players from Sparta, would have shares in Edobet according to the AD. This illegal online casino no longer exists. In November last year, former football players Dirk Kuyt and Wesley Sneijder were also heard as witnesses in the research into this company. In addition to the fact that the company offered illegal gambling services, Edobet drug money would be laundered.

Sparta's reaction was as follows:

“Sparta Rotterdam has no involvement in the aforementioned lifted website. The aforementioned players were also not employed by Sparta at the time of the investments. As far as the club is known, no formal investigation has been conducted, but if this comes, the club will cooperate. ”

A few days after the news, Beugelsdijk and Meijers were simply part of the competition selection for the Eredivisie competition with SC Heerenveen. The match ended in 1-1. Meijers did not play and Beugelsdijk got a few minutes of playing time when Auassar left the field injured.

During the interview after the game, Fraser was asked about his reaction to the news about his players. Fraser said there was no doubt for him that the players would just be in the competition selection. According to him, it is up to the judiciary to get the facts on the table:

“I understand that there are a number of people who want and expect this from me and the club, but I don't have that. Now that is not comparable to each other, but I think we all drive too fast. Well, then you get caught by the police, you get a ticket and that's it. "

According to Fraser, the way in which AD conducts investigative journalism looks like so-called "juice channels". All kinds of gossip about well -known and less well -known American people are shared on these channels. Fraser, he said, is not interested in the opinion of others.

That remark about "Juice channels" did not go unnoticed. In Studio Voetbal, Arno Vermeulen, chief of football of the NOS, had no good word for the pronunciation of Fraser:

“Juice channels are gossip sites, but we are talking about fantastic journalism research work from the AD and we at the NOS with the podcast about match fixing. Everything is checked and checked again. He throws that together. It is painful and wrong from Fraser. You shouldn't say that and it should not happen to him. Very bad. They are just facts. "

In line with Fraser, the reaction of fellow Spartaan Bart Vriends to the news was also laconic:

“We all read it and when they come to the dressing room, we will make it a doll. That is how it works. The stocking is therefore finished with that. We have to wait and see what happens to those guys. With us it has little effect. ”
