Ronald Koeman is back for a second stint as coach, with the Netherlands expecting a strong performance in Germany after easing through qualifying despite two defeats by France.“We feel the hunger for results, the hunger to win something,” wing-back Denzel Dumfries told reporters yesterday. “It’s behind us, there is little point in answering all kinds of questions that are no longer current,” Koeman said of his team’s injury absences.Chelsea’s Ian Maatsen was a late call-up as a replacement for De Jong and will be full of confidence after helping Borussia Dortmund reach the Champions League final while on loan at the Bundesliga club.
Matthijs de Ligt was on the pitch, but was sent off in the loss to the Czechs three years ago for a handball, although is hoping to banish those memories alongside Virgil van Dijk in central defence. Poland were dumped out in the group stage three years ago, but were quarter-finalists in 2016 and reached the 2022 World Cup last 16.“We respect the Netherlands, but we are not afraid of them,” he said.
