Qatar 2022: Netherlands Coach Confirms that his Team Deserved to Qualify after Defeating a Strong and Organized Team

Doha, December 03 (QNA) - Netherlands coach Louis Van Gaal, confirmed that his team deserved to win the match today against the USA, and qualify for the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, describing the American team as strong and organized. Louis van Gaal said during the post-match press conference: "In the first half, they (USA) dispossessed us so much, and that is not acceptable. You can't accept that if you play top level teams. We did better in the second half, even though there were fewer goals. "They were great goals and really good team goals," he explained, adding that the Netherlands can go all the way to the final in Qatar. "Some top teams are out, and we have three games ahead of us. We can become world champions. I don't say we will become world champions, but we can be. It is about team building," he said. "This gives you confidence. The players are pleased and excited. We will look at the game again tomorrow and then we will roll up our sleeves and get back to work," commented Van Gaal, who was pleased that other sides are not adapting to counter the Dutch wing-backs. The Netherlands became the first side to qualify for the quarterfinals with goals from Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Denzel Dumfries, who was also voted Player of the Match after giving assists in the first two goals.
