Holland won this Friday to France at home 2 goals by 0 reaffirming that their victory against Germany was no coincidence, the tulips are back and stronger than ever, the mechanical orange has resurfaced after the dark years lived after the World Cup in Brazil 2014.
The generational change has cost a bit but Ronald Koeman found a competitive team that can beat the best, based on a reliable goalkeeper like Jasper Cillessen, an explosive defense full of youth with Denzel Dumfries (22 years) or Matthijs de Ligt (19 years), led by Virgil van Dijk who is already the leader of the best Liverpool of recent times and completes the defense Daley Blind always correct in his trade. The midfield has a young man who is already attracting the attention of the greats of Europe, Frenkie De Jong with 21 years is in charge of marking the times in the mechanical orange. The most important thing that Koeman has achieved with this team is to recover those different players that win games like Memphis Depay and Ryan Babel that left their frustrations behind and now play with the quality that made them known at the start of their careers.
With the victory against France, those led by Ronald Koeman reached six points in the group and were one point away from the World Champion. Thus, the Tulips will seek to reach the Final Four when they face on Monday as a visitor to Germany in the closing of the group stage. A Germans that with this result lose their place in the A League and will play in the B from next season, jeopardizing their participation in the Eurocup, because they could cross with Spain that depends on there being no winner in the England vs. Croatia to play the Final Four.
Ya legends! I love this one. It’s so complete, Vinicius is going to get to the next level this season for Madrid. Hope he can get to fight against Mbappe in the future!
