Noppert – demanded
In his second international game, he again made a great save, but unlike against Senegal he couldn’t keep his clean sheet.
dummfries – Deliberately
He tried to break Ecuador’s lines with his powerful drives, but he could hardly make a difference. Of course, he is the master and lord of the right lane of the Netherlands.
wood – Loose
He entered the ‘eleven’ in De Ligt’s place to compensate for the speed of the Ecuadorian attackers and did not have a good performance. Said without subtlety, they ate it with potatoes.
Van Dijk – authoritarian
He blocked any airballs that came around him and managed to prevent the Netherlands defense from collapsing.
Ake – bad advice
He came 1000th late in many actions where he had to go to court. Any other day seems impassable, not this Friday.
Blind – Be careful
His characteristic intelligence had little effect on the body of the Netherlands.
koopmeiners – Intermittently
At first it seemed to improve Berghuis, who he replaced, but like the rest of his teammates it worked in the half.
class – Wrong
His goal against Senegal opened the floodgates of possession, but the test did not go well for Van Gaal.
Dejong – Checked
Ecuador knows very well which player from the Netherlands needs to be canceled. He keeps an eye on Frenkie and short-circuits him in ‘Oranje’.
Gakpo – Recidivist
He is again the stiletto of the Dutch team, which if not for him, will have a hard time getting through the round. The left foot that opened the scoring could not be appealed.
Bergwijn – Invisible
The speedy Ajax striker is still nowhere to be seen. He was not noticed against Senegal and he is not remembered in any positive way against Ecuador.
THE CHANGES
Memphis – Disappointing
After returning from his injury against Senegal, he still had 45 minutes to contribute. Much more is expected from the supposed ‘goal-man’ of ‘Oranje’.
berghuis – Clingy
Van Gaal regained him to act as glue for a torn midfield.
Weghorst – tank
Even with a pure and solid ‘9’ the Netherlands’ game did not improve. This explains his performance.
DeRoon – Not effective
A change that is almost meaningless.
