'We didn’t play well in ball possession, that was our problem in the first match. And all the second balls, all the duels were for Ecuador. There, you cannot win I believe.'
Van Gaal critical of Netherlands players after Ecuador draw – ‘We did not play a good match’Date published: Friday 25th November 2022 7:58 -Louis van Gaal was left unimpressed by his Netherlands players after they had to cling on for a point against Ecuador.
Ecuador in contrast put in a barnstorming display and were unlucky to come away with only a draw, as captain Enner Valencia seized on a rebound to score his third goal of the tournament early in the second half. “We’re working on possession and we will continue to work on that. Whether we will make it, I can’t guarantee that. But I think so, we have several options in the midfield and I can try them out.”
“We have lost sight of the balance here, but we can find it. The clever thing today is that we played the match and have one point against a much better opponent, that’s how I see it.”“We have a great leader in Enner Valencia, but the rest of our squad are young and lack that experience,” the Argentinian said.
