Captain Virgil Van Dick said he was proud of his well-trained performance. We have hardly given up anything. ? The central defender told Dutch broadcaster NOS that Norway needed a victory to advance, but they showed little initiative throughout the game. The Dutchman led Montenegro 2-0 in the last 10 minute of the qualifying match, then conceded twice and had to continue preparing for Tuesday's game.
On Sunday, Dutch coach Luis Fan Jiaer broke his hip in a fall. He watched the game from the sky box of the stadium and sent a message to his assistants Heng Ke Fraser and danny blind. Van Dyke said he was sorry that he couldn't take part in the competition. Star striker Ehrling? Harland also missed due to injury. Without him, the Norwegian team largely lacked the motivation to attack and did not shoot in the first half. ? It's really a plus for us that he can't play. ? Fan Jiaer said.
The Dutchman controlled the ball to a great extent and pushed forward tentatively before the half-time. Depe seems to be the most likely to break the deadlock, but he can't find a way to surpass Nilan. The situation remains the same after the break. As the Dutch team pushed forward to find the goal, they finally scored. Turkey will draw lots to decide its opponents, which means it will play against one of the seed teams including Portugal and Italy in the away game.
