sport">“You can get a lot of goals against better opponents,” said Wijnaldum. “Sometimes we are not well. You can see that they mainly create opportunities when we have attacked. We still need to improve the conversion. Now the result is there. But it may just be that you do not get a penalty and do not make a second hit, then it is just a bad game ”, Wijnaldum told the WE.
sport">According to Wijnaldum, this is easier said than done. “This cannot be done in one go. We only meet once in a while. You can’t train much at Orange because the next match is always around the corner. ”
sport">Wijnaldum was satisfied with the attack game and the many opportunities created. “I think this was one of our best matches. Except for the first minutes, when we were not in focus and they scored the goal. But if you look at how we create opportunities afterwards, it is simply very good. I thought it was better than in the other competitions. ”

Blind: learn a lot from the counter possibilities of Poland
sport">Daley Blind spoke of a deserved victory for the Orange. “We were looking for it, it was hoped that the ball would fall well one day. And that happened, fortunately, a golden change ”, he referred with a smile on his own change in the final phase, after which Georginio Wijnaldum headed home in the same minute. “Considering the whole match, we also had the right to win here.”
sport">Blind agreed that the Netherlands had given away too many opportunities to Poland before the break. “Not after half time, but before half time,” said the Ajax player at the WE. “We put pressure on the field a bit higher, while we used to play more compactly and collapse further. That still needs to be ground in a bit more. That takes time. We like to move forward, but we will have to learn a lot from the counter options we were faced with. ”
