The Netherlands is the leader of Group D and in the duel with Austria, a point is enough for them to reach the round of 16 of the European Championship.
However, everything is open, because the Austrians also have a reckoning before tonight's match clash at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin (18 p.m.) who, after losing at the start against France, routinely defeated Poland.
"Tulips" have the role of at least a slight favorite, but...
- There were moments in the match against France when we didn't look good on the field. We easily allowed the opponent to create dangerous chances, we did not press well. In the second half, we didn't have patience, we were in a hurry. I hope we will change that in the match against Austria - said the coach Ronald Koeman.
It was in the match against France that Koeman's team showed how unpleasant they can be and it seems that they are close to passing the group for the eighth time in the last nine European championships.
- We could have won that game. Not to go back to the goal that was disallowed. Anyway, we still have 90 minutes - we can be second and third at the end, but it can open up and we can get to first place. That is our goal - added Kuman.
Austria is in a good position with three points, a point would almost certainly take them to the round of 16 as one of the four best third-placed teams, but the team Ralf Rangnik is not afraid of anyone. He was unlucky against the French - when he lost with an own goal Maximilian Weber, and then he was relentless against the Poles.
- We have confidence after the victory over Poland. Everyone expected us to celebrate, so we had to deal with that kind of pressure. It will be much more difficult against the Netherlands, but this team has quality and believes that we can play with everyone - said Rangnik.
