Dutch U-21 national team midfielder Ruben van Bommel commented on his team’s victory over the U-21 national team of Ukraine (2:0) in yesterday’s match of the third round of the Euro-2025 group stage (U-21).
Ruben van Bommel“It was a good game for us. An excellent goal in the first half. We controlled everything. We scored again in the second half, then a red card. It became harder for the team, but we finished the match well.
Our plan for the match was the same: to press as high as possible. Sometimes we lacked energy, but overall we did well. We successfully controlled the match, scored twice, and the defense played well. In the previous two matches, we were a bit less reliable in defense, but this time everything was good.
What brought the winning result? The Ukrainians made several mistakes, and we were in the right place in those moments. That was important for us. We pressed, and the Ukrainians made mistakes," said van Bommel, as reported by the Telegram channel “Suspilne Sport”.
