Valentijn Driessen: ‘Ronald Koeman has perfected his ideal starting XI for the 2026 World Cup’

That was before the friendly matches against Norway and Ecuador. Provided they are fit, Memphis Depay, Frenkie de Jong and Jurriën Timber, who were absent this week, will start in the starting line-up at the World Cup.
