Dutch national team completes final training for first World Cup match with full group | 2022 football world cup

The practice session was only visible to the media for the first fifteen minutes. Louis van Gaal then continued behind closed doors. The national coach will give a press conference at 12.45 p.m. He may then tell who will defend the goal against Senegal on Monday. So far it is not clear whether Van Gaal opts for Justin Bijlow (Feyenoord), Remko Pasveer (Ajax) or Andries Noppert (sc Heerenveen).

It also remains to be seen who will play in midfield next to Frenkie de Jong and who will position Van Gaal as an attacking midfielder behind his two strikers Steven Bergwijn and Vincent Janssen. Janssen will probably start instead of Memphis Depay, who last played on September 22. Van Gaal probably does not want to take any risks with his top scorer.
