Netherlands boss defends Matthijs de Ligt after poor Nations League display
Briefly

"He himself realises that he was in the wrong position. This should not happen, but mistakes are part of football. I think it is unfair to make a big deal out of it."
"Xavi Simons should have done better. He was marking their left midfielder and suddenly walked away from him. Of course, the centre-backs are positioning themselves wrong too."
"We played very well in possession of the ball. Very fresh, fast, often finding the people between the lines. We certainly had a good phase after the break."
"When you concede two goals, you take that with you. When it was 3-2 you also saw some doubt in the team, which wasn't necessary if you looked at the statistics."
