Match details
Netherlands v Gibraltar
UEFA Euro Qualifiers 2024
De Kuip, Rotterdam, Netherlands
28th March, 00:15 am
Preview
The start of Ronald Koeman’s second tenure as head coach of the Netherlands couldn’t have been more difficult as they were defeated 4-0 by France in Paris.
The Netherlands played poorly defensively and fell behind 2-0 in just ten minutes. If not for some saves from Jasper Cillessen, the final score might have been higher. In order to turn around their goal difference, which might be crucial at the conclusion of the group, Koeman will be expecting his team to rebound when they play Gibraltar.
Gibraltar hasn’t won a competitive match since the 2020 Nations League season after falling to Greece 3-0 in their home opener in these qualifiers.
No offence meant to Gibraltar, but the question on Monday should be how many goals the Netherlands will win by. It will take a significant victory for people to forget about the defeat to France.
Koeman’s tactics and team selection are to blame for the poor performance against France. Koeman learned a hard lesson from this experience, and hopefully he now knows what some of his players are capable of at the highest level. He will have some important players back against Gibraltar, and we should at the very least witness a convincing victory. After that, Koeman will have to start over in preparation for the crucial Euro qualifiers in September and the summer Nations League semi-final.
