Davids dismissed it as ‘one of those things in football’, but Advocaat is annoyed with persistent ruptions among his squad, saying: ‘I have the best players in Europe, but they show no willingness to accept things from each other. Davids has a different personality, but his aggression is important for the team. I have told him off for what he has done wrong. But I will not leave him out. Why should I?"
