De Boer happy with Owen Wijndal: ‘He was fantastic today’ | Football

sport">The national coach said that to the afterwards WE. “We started slowly, but after the 0-1 we got in better. Georginio Wijnaldum and Frenkie de Jong came under more pressure from Spain halfway through the first half. We gave the deep ball to Luuk de Jong a bit faster, and that really is a resting point to get out of the pressure. ”

sport">De Boer continued: „It bothered me that for a long time we did not cover backwards. The second half you see that we do that much more and therefore come into duels much more, conquer the ball and can become dangerous ourselves. Of course you want to prevent teams like Spain from getting the ball between the lines. Luuk and Donny van de Beek also set back earlier after the break, which made us more dangerous. ”

sport">The equalizer eventually came after a cross from Owen Wijndal. “It was fantastic today. Nice that he left such a good impression, you hope for that too. That guys show it and make it difficult for me. He has really thrown off the trepidation of his first international match against Mexico. ”
