The national team of the Netherlands will play against Morocco in the 1/16 final of the World Cup 2026.

In front of the team, the central manager and captain of the Orange, Virgil Van Dijk, shared his thoughts on the upcoming conflict.

" For example, that main player, who immediately declared himself at the tournament, is playing very well, Ayoub Buaddi.

We analyzed them, carried out two very good training sessions, and that’s all that the coaching staff could help us with - now it’s all up to us on the field.

I'm looking forward to this match. Tse will be important gra, but I will be in front of you. These are the same matches that you want to take the fate of every football player.

I don't think we need to convey anything to anyone. This is a fantastic match for neutral fans. For ourselves - it’s just reality.

We’re here right now and getting ready to go to Morocco, but everything else doesn’t matter.

I also don't like that patients in Monterrey are more supportive of Morocco. I think that there will be a lot of sick people in the orange lace, if you recognize me as such. We got along wonderfully at the hotel today, so I’ll see a lot of orange T-shirts in the stands tomorrow,” said the Dutch Vikonavit.

The match between the Netherlands and Morocco will take place on the 30th from 04:00.
