Martijn Meerdink sees Mexx shine in Oranje: 'He was supposed to go to Ibiza'
Martijn Meerdink, a former Netherlands international, expressed immense pride as his son Mexx scored two goals, including a penalty, during the Netherlands' 2-1 Nations League victory over Serbia. The 23-year-old striker, who had initially not been called up and was planning a trip to Ibiza with his girlfriend, made his first start for the national team after being summoned just days prior. Martijn noted that while he felt nervous watching his son take the decisive penalty, he is thrilled by Mexx's rapid rise, which has already surpassed the father's single cap record from twenty years ago. Both father and son celebrated the achievement, with Martijn emphasizing his support for Mexx's fitness amidst upcoming matches against Greece and Serbia.
