Captain Virgil van Dijk thought that the Orange squad played well against Belgium on all fronts in Brussels. He said that after the 1-4 victory of the Dutch national team. “This was a good start for us in the Nations League,” said the Liverpool defender at NOS . “We have executed our plan very well. We often conquered the ball in dangerous places. As a result, goals have also been scored.”
“A good victory, with good football, with and without the ball, we played excellently,” continued Van Dijk. “We made great goals, everyone was good. On to more, I would say.” However, Van Dijk does not play in the remaining three matches, he gets a holiday from national coach Louis van Gaal.
Van Dijk still regretted the goal in the final phase. “As a defender, you would like to keep the zero. Unfortunately, it will go in anyway. They played all-or-nothing in that phase, we were perhaps a bit tired. It does not detract from this beautiful victory.”
