Head coach of the Netherlands national team Ronald Koeman commented on the draw result in the match of the 2026 emergency cycle against Poland (1:1).

“I have more disappointments, less satisfactions, and on the other hand we have earned one more short term before qualifying for the world championship.

Fighting against teams that defend too deep is not easy. We needed to be patient, we needed to attack in different ways, otherwise we didn’t create enough good moments.

Poland demonstrated its vigor and its style of play:

Swedes transition from defense to attack. That's how we missed a goal. The stench was falling as quickly as possible, but all the same against the two Polish graves there were five of our hissniks.

It’s not our fault to miss in such a situation, but it didn’t happen. I know again, it’s so good to love grati, and not to work without care,” the UEFA press service quotes Koeman as saying..
