# Liverpool fans react to yet another Gini Wijnaldum goal for Netherlands

Some Liverpool supporters have been lauding the brilliance of [Gini Wijnaldum](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/11/17/inter-milan-join-the-race-to-sign-gini-wijnaldum-from-liverpool/) following yet more international heroics for the Netherlands.

The 30-year-old has been a wonderful signing for the Reds ever since joining from Newcastle United in 2016. Having [thrived as an attack-minded player](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/49499/plus/0/saison/2015/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/762) at St James’ Park, it was assumed that he was heading to Liverpool to take up a similar role.

Instead, Jurgen Klopp has used him as one of the more understated members of the team, doing the [hard graft in central midfield](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/49499/verein/31) and allowing others to shine.

This selflessness has played a huge role in Liverpool’s success in recent years, with Wijnaldum a key cog in the machine. The Dutchman is more than capable of providing real attacking quality, however, as he showed by [scoring twice against Barcelona](https://www.si.com/soccer/2019/05/07/liverpool-barcelona-champions-league-video-highlights-messi-suarez-mane) in 2019.

When it comes to playing for his country, Wijnaldum is given far more freedom and he has been in sensational goalscoring form of late.

On Wednesday he bagged a late winner in the Netherlands’ 2-1 win away to Poland, meaning he now has [13 goals in his last 20 international appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/nationalmannschaft/spieler/49499/verein_id/3379).

These Liverpool fans took to Twitter to heap praise on the Liverpool star as he continues to showcase his versatility as a player.
