Ron Vlaar firmly believes in the defense of the Dutch national team and is annoyed by criticism of Virgil van Dijk: ‘That is not always fair’

In recent years, the Dutch defense has been the line that requires the least concern, but in recent matches the Dutch team has conceded quite a few goals. The Dutch goalkeeper has not kept a clean sheet in five international matches and with six goals conceded and seven goals scored by the Netherlands itself, the goal difference over those five matches is only slightly positive. The way in which the Dutch team had to concede two goals at the World Cup kick-off against Japan (2-2) led to a lot of criticism.
