The head coach of the Netherlands national team Louis van Gaal was as objective as possible at the press conference after the match of the 2nd round of the group stage of the World Cup with Ecuador, which ended in a draw.

"We didn't play a good game. They acted well without the ball, but controlled poorly. And we already had this problem in the first match. We lost all the duels. We had bad possession of the ball, and without it it is difficult to reach the opponent's goal. We lost the ball quickly and in general did not cope with the task of building our game. The national team of Ecuador surpassed us.

I warned that Ecuador will be stronger than Senegal. We scored a point against an opponent who was better than us," Ole van Gaal quotes.
