The memories of their defeat at the hands of Portugal in the inaugural Nations League final will be fresh in the Netherlands players’ minds, and they got their new campaign off to the perfect start on Friday night, thanks to a second-half strike from Tottenham’s Steven Bergwijn – his first on the international stage.
It was also the first goal of the Dwight Lodeweges era, the man who’s stepped into Koeman’s shoes on a temporary basis as the Dutch footballing authorities hunt for the national side’s next permanent manager.
Italy were on an 11-game winning run before their 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday, and after the game Mancini admitted to leaving captain Giorgio Chiellini on the bench accidentally, as he’d looked at the team sheet without his glasses on. Fans of Gli Azzurri will be hoping his preparations for the Netherlands are a little more thorough.
His men were pedestrian for much of the Bosnia game, but sprung into action late on after going behind. They might not get away with that against the Netherlands, a side that’s bursting with youth and proven talent.
