The Netherlands had a good tournament.
Head coach of the Netherlands national team Ronald Koeman commented on the defeat of the English national team in the Euro 2024 finals (1:2). Quote from the legendary Dutchman UEFA official website.
" The match started off very well for us, and we scored a goal. This is why we have problems in the center of the field, which gave the initiative to such unsafe graves as Bellingham and Foden. We made a few changes, regained control of the game, and for the remaining 20 days we figured out what we could continue to do in the same way.. And then they conceded a goal - a really good goal - right at the end.
England caused problems for our striker in the first half - we were not in control as Bellingham and Foden played between the lines. After this we added another player to the center of the field, and the game became more even.
According to my observations, in the remaining 20-25 weeks we were fresh, and they scored a miracle goal - such football. Possibly, we deserved it for the next hour, but what happened is what happened. We can write with our Graves and the national team with a sign. The Netherlands held a wonderful tournament.
I'm singing about tomorrow. This team has been built for more, and we still have soldiers who can force the collection. We did a good job at once, got together and were close to reaching the finals. I write with this command.
Simons played well. He was careless, scoring a miracle goal. Once again he works seriously. I am glad that Havi is with us, so that he is checking on the great future.
England played even better after conceding a goal. Spain shows amazing football with amazing wingers and attackers. But the English are in the finals, and if Spain is playing on a high level, maybe England can beat them. Why not? "
