Vivianne Miedema after quat-trick: ‘I want this ball’ | Football

sport">The ball will undoubtedly go around in the bus, including a marker. “Exactly. Soon the signatures of all the girls on it and then it will go in the closet at home.”

sport">All in all, it was a historic evening for all Orange players and Miedema in particular: „I don’t think I have ever scored four goals in the Dutch national team. And it was my first ever game at the Games. Then I can say that we should never have had three against. But yes, we should also be a little proud of ourselves.”

sport">With a bit of luck, the Arsenal goal-getter could have scored half a dozen goals, but the defensive goalkeeper Hazel Nali also shook a few world saves from the top hat. Miedema, with a sense of understatement: “Yes, she was quite unpredictable, wasn’t she.”

sport">“Of course she made a terrible mistake at 1-0, but she recovered nicely afterwards. By the way, not only was that goalkeeper terribly unpredictable, they were all a bit unpredictable. But okay, in the end I’m glad we’re fit from the battle. We are now going to focus on Brazil on Saturday.”

sport">Miedema had received the surprising results, including the 3-0 defeat of title favorite America against Sweden. “I certainly heard that. Interesting. I think this is the toughest, highest and most difficult level ever in a final tournament when it comes to women’s football. Nine of the twelve countries can compete for a medal. I am very curious where it will end and who we will meet next. We have to recover as best we can.”
