,, I take a big responsibility for this loss. I am a striker, I have had opportunities and I have to score, “he says Ziggo Sport. “We started well, take the lead, but certainly do not play against a moderate team and of course they will get the ball and create opportunities. But the big difference is that their striker makes two and I could have made four, but I didn’t do it. I take a big responsibility.”
The Dutch Juniors again disappoints and must fear eliminating at the European Championship
Denmark has already qualified for the knockout phase. With Finland and Ukraine, the Netherlands is dying around the second ticket. The Dutch Juniors will have to beat Ukraine on Wednesday in the last group duel to continue in the tournament. “We have another chance, but if you see what quality we have, this is simply not good enough,” says Ohio. “It’s good that we create opportunities, but it doesn’t matter if we don’t score. It is not possible that we go out in the group phase. We have one chance. I don’t think I’m going to sleep tonight.”
What does Michael traveler say?
Also Juniors Coach Michael Traveler, who gets a lot of criticism for not selecting the man in form Mexx Meerdink, emphasized the many missed opportunities. ,, We have had many opportunities. They have to be in it. You must certainly poke two or three of them. There must be a certain urgency that you want to make and have to make the ball. Then you feel that the balls that normally go into it do not go in now. We have to take a step with that. You can say that it is bad luck, but it is also a bit of sharpness, “said the Jong Oranje coach, who also pointed to the defense.” Of course, the goals we received were not good either. ”
Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor had also seen enough positive things at the Dutch Juniors, which previously secured a point against Finland in injury time by a late equalizer of Ernest Poku. ,, We have created many opportunities and not finished. With that we do ourselves shortly. I think we played well. But it doesn’t help you. I think they make two goals and Finland the same with three, four chances. At a tournament that is a world of difference. We have to reward ourselves and we don’t do that. Then we follow the facts with a 2-0 deficit. We get enough opportunities, but the ball didn’t want to go. “
