Van Dijk: Lithuania once easily equalized the score, and it cannot happen if it wants to achieve greater success

In the European group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, the Netherlands defeated Lithuania 3-2 away. In this game, Lithuania tied the score at 2-2, but the Netherlands finally won the game without any danger. After the game, Dutch captain Van Dijk expressed his views.

Van Dijk said: "It was a bad night, I think it was only a good night for Depp, because he scored twice and broke the record. We took a 2-0 lead in the game, but then let Lithuania easily tie the score to 2-2. We created too much trouble for ourselves, which shouldn't happen. We were sloppy in possession, and we didn't win the second landing or physical confrontation, and we performed very poorly overall. Although we ended up with three points, which is the most important thing, if we were to achieve greater success, this situation would never happen again."

"Look at the first conceding, that player could easily take the ball to attack our goal, this situation It is necessary to stop the other party by fouls, and this should never happen. We need to be better and more stable. Indeed, we are in the stage of finding stability in the season, but that cannot be an excuse. "

"I think we should all reflect on it. We have achieved our goal of coming here, but if we want to make progress as a team, then things like tonight should not happen again. Indeed, we have strict requirements on each other and there will be discussions at halftime. There are flights to go home, during which time we can discuss this further. Next month when we assemble again, we will carefully analyze the game through video replay. There is a lot to learn tonight tonight."
