Everyone was backing the Netherlands this year because of their formidable midfield.
Instead, Koeman went with five defenders and just two midfielders, completely surrendered possession, and spent the entire match parked in defence.
What on earth would this old man have done if they had faced Spain or France?
Nobody should be held responsible for this exit except him β the manager who ditched his teamβs natural playing style and showed zero trust in his own players.
π¨π£οΈ π‘ππͺ: Zlatan IbrahimoviΔ: "I think this loss is on Ronald Koeman. I didn't recognize this Dutch team."
"He lost with an identity that is not the dutch identity. That makes me angry."
"Lose with your identity... that's who you are."
yes the Peterka trade is a gamble but whoever you would have taken tonight at 23 isnβt sniffing the nhl for another 3-5 years and the 2028 top 10 protected pick will make their NHL debut when David pastrnak is like 38 years old what are we even going on about here
