sport">“We did get a good idea of what we can do. We have to take steps, that is clear. We realize that ”, said De Boer, who saw the Orange give away a number of opportunities against Bosnia and Herzegovina (3-1) on Sunday. “There are things we can and must improve. We showed them to the players. We must ensure that things go better against Poland. ”
Boos
sport">De Boer could get quite angry in his time at Ajax. In the 2012-2013 season he became furious during a drinking break in the away game against NEC when Ajax did not defend properly and gave away a goal. The team from Amsterdam was already well ahead by then.
“The disadvantage is that a large part of this group has not yet played a final tournament”
sport">De Boer has not yet had such a moment at Orange. That doesn’t mean he’s gotten milder, he says. “At some point the penny has to fall. If there is a time when I need to get angry, I will get angry too. Let that be clear. ”
Nations
sport">De Boer enjoyed Italy’s game against Poland. “They played football really well. Furthermore, Spain is of course a team that you have to take into account. Belgium was fantastic against England. France also has so much quality in the team. You have many countries that will participate. We already knew that. That is why I am happy that we are in pot 1 with the draw for the World Cup qualification. I do think that we can measure ourselves against those countries. ”

Ronald Koeman
sport">During his employment, the previous national coach Ronald Koeman expressed the expectation that the current selection of Orange will only be at its best during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. De Boer can partly agree with that.
sport">“We have a very good mix in terms of ages. We have many players who play big games at Champions League level. The disadvantage is that a large part of this group has not yet played a final tournament. It is nice if you have players who know what it means to play such a tournament. I remember that from my own time. I was there at my first two final tournaments, but that immediately said everything ”, said De Boer about the European Championship in 1992 and the World Cup in 1994.“ But we do have a lot of talent in our group. Perhaps it is also the case that the World Cup will be our peak time. But we will do everything we can to be emphatically present at the European Championship. ”
