The exciting war between Holland and England ended almost paradoxically. While England fans celebrated the victory, their own players were also disappointed. The faces of the Dutch players were stormy and a small party formed along the pitch: National coach Andries Jonker “celebrated” the 2-3 defeat of the Dutch team.
“It has to be a first time,” Jonker said of the celebration following the defeat. “One of the goals of the Nations League is to qualify for the Olympic Games. Then we could afford to lose by one goal.
Check out Jonker’s full answer here:
Shanice van de Sanden was also optimistic. With five minutes remaining, the experienced attacker managed to return to the Dutch team, but he could not manage to turn the tide in the chaotic final stage. “You could see that we couldn’t take it in the end,” he analyzed.
“It’s a shame. But we are also playing against a great England here. I must say that we played really good football in the first half. “It’s a shame we gave it our all in the second half, but here we go.” Think about it, look at the pictures again, and then concentrate fully on Tuesday. “That’s the point now.”
Check out Shanice van der Sande, Lineth Beerensteyn and Daphne van Domselaar’s reactions:
The Nations League group is expecting a special result on Tuesday. If the Netherlands beat Belgium and England beat Scotland, there will be goal difference. The possibility of England participating in the Paris Games, which has an interesting side effect, is also good news for the Scottish football players in the England Team.
“That’s simply not possible,” grumbled Jonker. “That’s why I said after the draw: We have to make sure we keep everything in our hands. But I also think that the Scots will not give anything to the English. “Then we have to win against the Belgians, if we do that we have a good chance of reaching the semi-finals.”
Despite a host of injuries, Jonker expects to have a squad that suits him at Wembley on Tuesday. Jonker, in his unique style, summarizes his team’s shortcomings as follows: “Jackie Groenen played great. Sherida Spitse is again the helmsman of the team. Again the driving force is Daan van de Donk. And Victoria Pelova played well in the first half.
Fortunately, there were no alarming reports: “None of the four suffered serious injuries. “This is good news.”
He is confident about his home game against Belgium on Tuesday. “Different opponents, different conditions. At home. “I have confidence in myself.” Then goal difference can be decisive.
Lineth Beerensteyn can also be expected to score. The scorer of both goals scored by the Netherlands against England exudes confidence: “They played very bravely, playing me one-on-one. You must dare to do this. “These are matches where I can perform well, then I can make it difficult for every defense.”
Your recipe for Tuesday? “We need to go into this match with our full strength. Especially if we can repeat what we showed today for at least sixty minutes. Then everything will definitely be fine.”
