The Netherlands is in the quarter-finals of the Euro for the first time in 16 years - after the victory over Romania in the round of XNUMX, appetites are growing.

"Tulips" beat the Romanians (3:0), Kodi Gakpo scored and Donijel Malen scored twice...

"Sometimes it's hard to explain why you're playing bad or why you're playing well. Today, the start was difficult, but then we found our game and caused problems for the rival. Perhaps one critical point was that it was 1:0 for too long", said coach Ronald Koeman.

Holland has shown how dangerous it can be.

"We have great talents in the team. Of course we need to win something - then everyone would compare us to the generation of 1988. Football has changed since then"

In the quarter-finals, the rival will be better from the duel between Austria and Turkey.

"If we don't maintain this level, we won't do what we want," Koeman said.
