The choice for Poku and Milambo is obvious. Poku is the man in shape and with his winning goal in the final phase against Portugal and previously the equalizer in injury time in the group duel with Finland ensured that the Dutch Juniors has passed through to the semi -final.

The AZ player deserves a place in the base, although it is a shame that he can no longer be used as an extra weapon in the final phase at his speed, because that made him very dangerous for earlier raids, while as the basic player against Denmark he appeared less convincing.
There is also little to say about the decision of traveler to designate Antoni Milambo as a replacement for Kenneth Taylor. Milambo has previously entered the field twice as a substitute and this season has largely played everything at Feyenoord, where he came out strongly in the Champions League, among others.

Earlier this week, Milambo indicated in an interview with De Telegraaf that he counted on getting a chance against the English. ,, I do take into account that I can play. That chance is certain, I think. You must always be ready anyway. That’s how it should be. “
Neraysho Kasanwirjo
The choice for Kasanwirjo is a bit more striking, because he has played this tournament for less than a minute, but on the other hand he was taken by a traveler as a second right back and that it is logical to draw up the second right back in the absence of the first right back.
The question is how it will unpack with Kasanwirjo in terms of competition rhythm and fitness, because the right back was on the side at Rangers for months with an injury and played only 654 minutes throughout the club, 112 for Feyenoord in August last year. The number of playing minutes This calendar year is only 113.

Moreover, Kasanwirjo has only started a competition four times in this entire season, while the circumstances will be difficult in the national stadium of Bratislava. It is tropical warm in Slovakia and the temperature is expected to be around thirty degrees Celsius at 6 pm.
Setup: Roefs; Kasanwirjo, Van den Berg, Hato, Maatsen; Flamingo, Valente, Milambo; Manhoef, van Bergen, Poku.
