Aston Villa Lamare Bogarde, an Aston Villa prodigy, had a terrible debut for the Netherlands under-21 team.
Prior to the international break, Aston Villa were on a roll. Manager Unai Emery would have been thrilled to keep the hot streak going.
However, international football takes over the next two weeks, providing an opportunity to see certain Villains perform for their national teams.
Aston Villa players are in action all around the world, seeking to have a positive effect on their sides. Unfortunately, one of our Villans did not fare well on his debut.
Lamare Bogarde, a Villa starlet, had his first call-up to the Netherlands Under-21 side and came in from the bench to support his team, but ended up contributing to the issues.
The Villa Academy graduate dropped possession three times. He did not complete his one attempted long ball or any of his four duels.
To make matters worse for Bogarde, he collected two yellow cards and was sent off in the final moments of the game. Instead of a momentous occasion, the evening was underwhelming. Fortunately, despite being down a man, the Netherlands managed to win against Italy. They face Romania on Tuesday. Because the match against Italy was a friendly, Bogarde should be in the lineup on Tuesday, and he hopes to rebound.
Bogarde has been a reliable player for Aston Villa this season, making 18 appearances in all competitions.
