00:13Hello, welcome to Zeist at the start of this new window, a window of two weeks, four races where we
00:19start in the Nations League, Germany, Serbia and Griekenland.
00:24But we start with the press conference, so for now we switch to English and Jeroen writes the NOS.
00:31Go ahead.
00:33Good morning.
00:35Good morning.
00:38You're improving in your Dutch, learning a little.
00:40Step by step.
00:42Was it hard work to come to this squad the last couple of weeks?
00:46Hard work?
00:47No, it was the opposite, you know, checking the players, talking with some of them, the feelings.
00:56Yeah, everybody is excited.
00:58I feel in the face of some players that I met.
01:03Really good, I think it's a nice project.
01:06A new beginning.
01:08Today I will see, still I couldn't see them.
01:12But today we will have time to talk, you know, from our idea, as a staff, our values.
01:20Yeah, really excited, really excited to start.
01:23And that's it.
01:24What was the toughest decision yesterday?
01:28The toughest decision maybe talk to Memphis.
01:32Talk to Memphis, I have to be honest.
01:35Because I know him, I have a good relationship with Memphis.
01:38But he was amazing.
01:41You know, the response of him was amazing.
01:46With maturity, he understood everything.
01:49I have a lot of respect with Memphis.
01:52But I want to say that the door is open for all the players.
01:57The door is not closed for Memphis and for any players.
02:01So, yeah, if they perform and if they are in a good fit, for sure.
02:07We decide that maybe our Memphis or other players can come back.
02:11So, yeah, it was the toughest situation.
02:14But I think he showed me a really good maturity and, yeah, good intelligence from his part.
02:22The door is open for Memphis.
02:24Why is he not here now?
02:27This is, you know, confidential.
02:29It's a conversation about me as a coach and Memphis.
02:32He knows everything.
02:34He understood.
02:35And this is the most important part.
02:37Yeah, it feels a little bit, yesterday evening you had to select a new striker
02:41and then you choose for a very young guy from, well, he's 22, but Max Miering from AZ.
02:46It feels a little bit like a break with Memphis.
02:50Like he's pretty far away from the national team at the moment.
02:54No, no, no.
02:55The door is, I insist, the door is still open for him and for everybody.
02:58We decided that because we don't know Max Miering too much and we want to check on him.
03:05You also spoke to Virgil van Dijk, you went to Liverpool.
03:08How was that?
03:09Is he going to be your captain?
03:10And is the plan with him that he's going to stay with the national team for two years?
03:14Yes, he will be the captain.
03:15I met him, yeah.
03:17It was a really good meeting.
03:20He was very honest.
03:22He has the capacity to continue.
03:26He's a good leader.
03:28He's positive.
03:29He's motivated.
03:29So, yeah.
03:30Really nice meeting.
03:32I travelled to Liverpool.
03:33So, yeah.
03:34I think he's ready.
03:35He's ready to compete.
03:36He's ready to be the leader, our captain.
03:39So, yeah.
03:40Very happy at this point.
03:41When you went to Liverpool, was there ever a doubt in your mind that you wanted to continue
03:46with Virgil or was it always the goal of your trip to Liverpool?
03:51No, it's just a matter of feelings.
03:53If I can see now Virgil playing, in my opinion, there is no problem that he continue with
04:00us.
04:00He's in a good fit.
04:01He's a good leader in his club.
04:06Yeah.
04:07I think there is no reason that Virgil don't continue with us in the national team.
04:14You spoke to Virgil.
04:15You spoke to Memphis.
04:16You didn't speak to everyone.
04:17What is your policy in calling people that they're not selected or calling people that
04:20they are selected?
04:21It depends on the situation, especially if the player is in a really bad moment, really
04:28bad mood.
04:29If he got injured, if the player got injured, for example.
04:33It depends on the situation.
04:34There is no, you know, a rule for this.
04:38If one player is not feeling okay, I think it's the moment to text him at least, to call
04:44him that, hey, here we are, we are following you.
04:48So this is my point of view.
04:51Yeah.
04:51One of your colleagues had some criticism about Gustil not being called.
04:55Peter Bosz said that, the trainer of PSV.
04:58What do you think?
04:59What he said?
05:00Sorry?
05:00He said he expected Gustil to be called by someone from the RVB.
05:06So he's in the list now.
05:08Yeah.
05:08He will be happy.
05:09Maybe.
05:09Maybe you listen to him.
05:11Was there a...
05:12No, no.
05:13I couldn't listen to him.
05:15I respect all the opinions.
05:17I understand because, you know, when you do a list, many people, from you, from coaches
05:22of the clubs, for sure they are missing some players.
05:26But we, at least we try to be fair.
05:30You know, we won the best for the national team and just be fair.
05:35And I respect all the opinions.
05:38But yeah, finally, Tilly is on our list.
05:41Last thing.
05:42Yesterday, there were two injuries.
05:44You had to invite two new players.
05:47How big is the blow that Mahlen isn't here?
05:50He's a big striker in Italy at the moment.
05:52Was it going to be your first choice at the number nine position?
05:55Yeah, it's a pity because Daniel is in a really good moment.
05:58And it was in the last moment of the weekend.
06:01It happened more or less the same with Justin Kluiver.
06:05But you know, this is football.
06:06We are expecting some players and at the end you have to adapt for another one.
06:11Well, I think Daniel is okay.
06:13He's okay.
06:14I don't know how many times he needs to recover.
06:18But it's not too bad, the injury.
06:21Good luck.
06:22Looking forward, Thursday?
06:24Yes, yes.
06:24I'm really motivated, really excited.
06:27Many things to do.
06:28But yeah, I'm happy.
06:29I'm very happy.
06:30Ready.
06:32Pascal, even check if you have the other microphone.
06:36Yeah, a moment.
06:37He comes around.
06:41Yeah, Pascal.
06:42He's good.
06:43Good morning.
06:44Good morning.
06:44Just to be sure, one other question about Van Dijk.
06:46Is it just for the time being?
06:48Or did you talk also for a long term or until the European Championships?
06:55No, we are living the present.
06:56You know, we don't know what happens tomorrow.
06:59So by the moment, yeah, I think he's in a good fit.
07:02He performs.
07:03Yeah, and he will be our captain.
07:05So yeah, that's it.
07:06We didn't talk about if two years, four years.
07:10It depends on the, you know, on the future, but still living the present.
07:16There are 26 players in the squad right now.
07:20Yes.
07:20Did you consider to select more players like your colleague Jurgen Klopp did 44?
07:26Yeah.
07:28No, we decided because we are convinced that with these players we can manage all the situation
07:33in the trainings in these four games.
07:36So I think it's the perfect way to know the players, to training with them, to know them.
07:43Because we want to have individual meetings with them, how they feel, what we want that they play on the
07:54pitch.
07:55Yeah, personally.
07:56Yeah, I think 26 players is enough.
08:00It's the perfect number.
08:01You didn't want to see more young players and to meet them, to see them.
08:06Yeah, but we have under 21.
08:07We are in a good communication with Michael Reisiger.
08:11Even Adil Ramsey is, you know, helping us a lot with the youth generation.
08:18So, yeah, I think it's a perfect way to work.
08:22Yeah.
08:23Brian Robby and Max Meding are the strikers up front.
08:26There is no attacker like a pinch hitter, a target man.
08:32Like Bart Veghorst was for the last couple of years.
08:36Don't you need a striker like that?
08:39Don't you like players like that?
08:41No, yes.
08:42I had Luke de Jong in Barcelona that he scored many goals with us.
08:47But by the moment we think that they are the best 26 that we can have in the squad.
08:54Yeah.
08:55So, technically, why is there no plan B with a long target man?
09:01No, we will have plan B, plan C and, you know, what we need.
09:05But yeah, I think it's the number and the players that must be here at this moment.
09:10What's the most important thing for the upcoming matches?
09:14Is it to see everyone or just winning games?
09:18Well, both things, of course.
09:20We are competing, we are checking the players.
09:23Everything is new from me and for the staff.
09:27So, yeah, know each other, know all the players, insist or convince them our way to play.
09:34Yeah, many things to do.
09:35We don't have too much time.
09:37But no excuses.
09:39Every coach is like in the same situation.
09:41So, yeah, I want that people see, you know, a little bit of change, you know, starting from Thursday.
09:52Yeah.
09:52One last question.
09:53There was one making his debut, G5ZGL.
09:57You were in the Kuip yesterday.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Maybe it was the first time you did see him in real life.
10:04Did you know him before?
10:05And what's your impression?
10:06Yeah, he's a good player.
10:08I think he has the potential.
10:09He has the capacity.
10:10He attacked the spaces.
10:11He's a good technical player.
10:13So, yeah, I like him.
10:15That's why he's in the list.
10:19Yeah.
10:19Go out.
10:22Hello, sir.
10:22Good morning.
10:23Good morning.
10:24What is the main thing that you sort of want to bring across to the boys when you speak
10:29to them?
10:29What is the main thing that you want to tell them when you start your period as head coach
10:33of the Netherlands?
10:35Well, I have to do it in a few moments.
10:40But yeah, I think I want to be natural with them.
10:44I want to explain the values that we have on the squad.
10:49My leadership show them that I'm open for them.
10:54I want to help them.
10:56I want to enjoy the process with them.
10:58We want to create a family.
11:00We want to create a big group.
11:02So, yeah, players must come to the Federation happy with happiness.
11:09But at the end, the main goal is to win, is to win.
11:12But during the process, we want to help them and enjoy with them.
11:16Yeah.
11:17You said about Memphis that the door is still open for a player like Wout Weghorst, who has
11:21had a very specific role in this team.
11:23Is the door still open or is that closed for him?
11:26For everybody.
11:27Yeah.
11:27For him as well.
11:28Okay.
11:29You said that you were planning to select players from Saudi Arabia, obviously.
11:33Somerville, Reinders.
11:34Back in your days when you were playing, it was sort of the thing that at the end of
11:38your career, you go over there.
11:40But now they're very young and they go over there.
11:43How do you look at that transition?
11:45It's not transition.
11:47I think if you follow the Saudi league, it's not a bad league.
11:52No, but you go from the Premier League to the Saudi league.
11:55That is a transition, right?
11:56Ah, but it's okay.
11:57This is professional football.
12:00If he performs and he's in a good fit, the player that plays in this kind of leagues,
12:05that I know very well, this kind of leagues, because I was playing in Qatar six years,
12:09so there is no problem.
12:11For me, it's in terms of personally, we check on him, not on the league or the club
12:17that the player is playing.
12:19But it is a difference in quality, right?
12:21The games you play week in, week out from the Premier League to the Saudi league.
12:25Yeah, but Saudi league play also Asian Champions League and also it's difficult.
12:31Yeah, you have to follow the league.
12:34One other thing.
12:35Are you planning to learn our national anthem?
12:39Yeah, I will try.
12:40I will try.
12:41Yeah.
12:42I promise to Mariana, but still early, you know.
12:47Let's see.
12:48Let's see.
12:49Because we sing about the king of Spain.
12:51I know, I know.
12:52I know the story.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Especially Mariana explained to me personally.
12:57Let's see.
12:57I need time.
12:58I need time.
12:59Last thing.
13:00You've been here in the Netherlands a few times.
13:02But what's been your favorite thing so far about this country?
13:07I have to be here in Seist all the time working with my staff.
13:13Many of the staff are from the Netherlands.
13:15I'm so happy.
13:16I'm so happy because people are super direct, super honest, you know.
13:21So, that's it.
13:23Yeah.
13:23I prefer this.
13:24I prefer this.
13:25So, yeah.
13:26Good.
13:27I'm happy.
13:27I'm comfortable.
13:28I'm in the best place that I want to be.
13:31So, yeah.
13:32This is perfect for me now.
13:34We need to compete.
13:35We need to get results.
13:36Yeah.
13:36It will be not easy, but I'm ready for the challenge.
13:39Okay.
13:39Succes.
13:42Sam.
13:43Oranje.
13:44Sego.
13:45Hola.
13:48You said we were direct and honest in the Netherlands.
13:51How did you experience that so far?
13:53What did people tell you?
13:56For example, in the staff, you are very well organized
14:00because we say a 10 o'clock meeting is not two minutes before
14:05and two minutes later is 10 o'clock.
14:06So, okay.
14:08That's good.
14:08In Spain, we are a bit different.
14:10Mañana, mañana.
14:11Exactly.
14:12Maybe mañana, maybe three minutes.
14:14No, no.
14:14Here is, you know, it's well organized, everything.
14:17Okay.
14:17We will adapt.
14:18Yeah.
14:19We will put rules as well on the team.
14:21Yeah.
14:22A bit different, but I'm super comfortable with the Netherlands people.
14:27Yeah.
14:28In the last few years, the Eredivisie hasn't had much of an impact on the Dutch national
14:32squad.
14:33Now you've selected players like Van Bommel and Zeghel.
14:35You've seen the Eredivisie in the stadiums.
14:37What do you think of the level of our Dutch competition?
14:40Yeah.
14:41It's a good level.
14:41It's a good level.
14:42I was watching yesterday Feyenoord-Utrecht and then in Ajax Stadium, Ajax PSV.
14:49It was, in my opinion, a Champions League level.
14:53It's a good game.
14:54Intensity.
14:55Both teams.
14:57So, yeah.
14:58Yeah, yeah.
14:58The Eredivisie has a good level, of course.
15:01It depends on the club.
15:02But the big teams.
15:05Big teams, sorry.
15:06They have good level.
15:07Good players.
15:08Good talents.
15:08Yeah.
15:08We need to check on them.
15:11Yeah.
15:11But I don't care the club.
15:12I prefer to check the player.
15:16You know, the player, of course, the intensity that he's playing, the rhythm, the capacity,
15:21the ambition, the passion that he shows on the pitch.
15:24I prefer to check on the individual.
15:27Yeah.
15:27Because I don't care the club and, you know, they have different game models.
15:32For example, PSV marked man-to-man all the 90 minutes.
15:36It's different.
15:37So, yeah.
15:39Ruben Van Bommel, for example, is in a good fit.
15:41He performs well.
15:43He's in the list.
15:44Yeah.
15:45Finally, do you know what the status is of Matthijs De Ligt?
15:47We haven't seen him in the Dutch squad for a while.
15:49How is he doing?
15:50Yeah.
15:50He's doing well.
15:51We talked with the club.
15:53Yeah.
15:54He suffered a lot during a long time.
15:56Yeah, yeah.
15:56We are checking on him.
15:58Also, the injured players.
15:59I was talking to Frankie, to Xavi Simons.
16:01Yeah.
16:02With many of them.
16:03We are checking how are them.
16:05Yeah.
16:05We want to check all the players because we need players.
16:08We need players.
16:09And in this case, De Ligt is an important player.
16:12Players could be important in the future.
16:17Yeah.
16:18Maarten.
16:21Good morning.
16:22You've already mentioned two times the word values.
16:26Could you say something about which values are important for you as a coach?
16:31How do you manage working with players?
16:33Well, starting from attitude, positive attitude.
16:36We want to be happy doing drills in the training.
16:43We have to live all together now, two weeks.
16:46So, it's important.
16:48A good attitude, positive vibes.
16:50Then respect.
16:51For me, it's very important the respect here.
16:53Respect to you.
16:55Respect to the players.
16:57Respect to the opponent.
16:59It's a matter of respect.
16:59I understand the life like that.
17:02And then effort.
17:03You know, we have to run.
17:04We have to work as a team.
17:06Yeah.
17:07These kind of values.
17:08And then teamwork.
17:10I think it's the most important thing in our sport.
17:12It's teamwork.
17:13Think not in yourself.
17:15Think in the others.
17:16I think it's one of the most important things.
17:20Different values.
17:20But these kind of values, for me, it's very, very important to convince the players that
17:26we are a team.
17:29And two questions about when you were a player in 2012, you won the European Championship
17:35playing with a false nine.
17:37Cesc Fabregas was a false nine.
17:40Is that something that could be possible in the Dutch team?
17:43Or do you prefer other striking options?
17:47Why not?
17:47We have different ways to play.
17:49I cannot reveal here anything.
17:53Sorry.
17:54But okay.
17:54Yeah.
17:54Tactically, we can adapt with the players that we have.
17:57We make the list thinking about it.
18:02How we play.
18:03So yeah.
18:03You will see.
18:04You will see our idea.
18:06And then, you know, the most important point.
18:09In the life of coaches is to get results.
18:12But at least play good football, you know, taking the initiative with intensity.
18:16This is what we want.
18:18Yeah.
18:18And one question more about that.
18:22You were also, of course, world champion.
18:26And in that team, there was a structured, how do you say that?
18:34The structure of Barcelona with five, six players from one team.
18:38Here in the Dutch squad, you have four players from Liverpool.
18:41You could play a central defender pair of Tottenham Hotspur.
18:47Yeah.
18:47Is that something you experienced how a team could benefit from that?
18:54Could you tell something about how you experienced that?
18:56And is it your aim here also?
19:00Yes.
19:01Yes.
19:01That's why we are training today, tomorrow, twice on Wednesday.
19:06Before the match, we will training as well in the morning.
19:09Yeah.
19:10We need to explain the players our way to play.
19:15It's difficult sometimes.
19:16We don't have, for example, ten players from one team, but there is no problem.
19:21We will insist on how we want to play, how we want to attack, how we want to defend.
19:26Yeah.
19:27But you benefited from it, working with a lot of players from one team.
19:34Yes.
19:35Could be a benefit.
19:36Could be.
19:36Could be.
19:37But it's not so important in my opinion.
19:42At least five more fingers.
19:43Ripke.
19:45Good morning.
19:47Good morning.
19:47A question about Joey Fehrman.
19:49He wasn't part of the squad in the last two years.
19:52Now he's back in the squad.
19:54Can you tell me why you get him back?
19:58The same than the others.
20:00He's playing.
20:01He's playing well.
20:02He has very good capacity, especially technically.
20:06He's top on this.
20:08He can help us, you know, in our building up, in our way to play.
20:14So, really good.
20:15I like him.
20:16We check on him, all the stuff.
20:18And I think he can help the team.
20:21So, yeah, I think he's ready.
20:23Yeah.
20:23He wasn't even on the pre-list before the World Cup of about 40 players.
20:28Have you spoken with him about that situation or what was going on?
20:31No, no, no, no.
20:33No, no.
20:33I prefer don't talk about the past, about the World Cup, about the, you know.
20:38I'm focused on the present.
20:40I'm really excited today or these days we will talk to them individually as a group.
20:48And, yeah, I'm happy to have this work and this place.
20:52Yeah.
20:53You said Virgil van Dijk is my first captain.
20:55Have you already decided who will be the second captain?
20:57No, not yet, not yet.
20:59I want to talk first to the players, but I decide personally that Virgil will continue
21:04as a captain.
21:05Okay.
21:05And the last question is, well, for the first time in the history of our team, all training
21:10sessions, or at least the biggest part of the sessions, are behind closed doors.
21:15Why is that?
21:16Because we don't have time, I have to say sorry, yeah, for you.
21:22But, you know, our goal is to train with them tactically.
21:26We don't have too much time.
21:27That's why just the first 20 minutes we agreed with Samuel.
21:32He was complaining.
21:34But, you know, the team has to train a lot in terms of tactical movements and that's why.
21:40This is the reason.
21:41Thank you so much.
21:43Eentje naar achteren, Martijn.
21:47Yes, good morning.
21:48Good morning.
21:49You have selected a few new players, if you compare it with the World Cup.
21:55But, yeah, the group remained the same, more or less.
21:59Is it realistic then to expect different football and different results with the same players?
22:06Yes.
22:07This is the goal.
22:08This is the goal.
22:10You know, as a coach you cannot promise results because we will work for results.
22:16But I can promise that, you know, that we will play in our way to play.
22:20Okay?
22:21With intensity, with passion, with a good rhythm, trying to be competitive and trying to be,
22:28to taking the initiative on the game, in the game.
22:31So, yeah.
22:33This for sure.
22:34So, that you can promise.
22:36It's going to be a different way of playing, if you compare it with the World Cup.
22:41I don't want to compare and I don't want to talk about the past.
22:45I respect a lot Ronald.
22:47I respect a lot what happened here in the past.
22:50So, I'm focused on the present.
22:51Yeah, I know, but it's not about the results, it's about the way of play.
22:55Yeah.
22:55You can say something about the way they were playing during the World Cup and you can say
23:00something about the way you wanted them to play.
23:02Yeah, I think I explained to you in the first press conference, but I can repeat you that we will
23:09take the initiative,
23:10we will try to play in the opposite field, we will try to have the possession, we will be brave,
23:19you know, in defence.
23:21So, that's it.
23:22This is my way to play, you already know.
23:24Yeah, yeah.
23:24So, that's it.
23:26And this can be done in a few days, or you need more time for that.
23:30This is my goal.
23:31This is your goal.
23:31Well, good luck with that then.
23:43Hello, good morning.
23:46Why didn't you select Luciano Valente?
23:53I prefer don't talk about the players.
23:55You know, we are monitoring him, we are following him.
24:02Yeah, because we have many players also as midfielders, as offensive midfielders.
24:06He's a good player.
24:06He's a potential player.
24:08And it's the same that Memphis and Verhoeven, still the door will be open.
24:15Do you see him as a midfield player or do you see him as an offensive midfield player?
24:20Yeah.
24:21He's playing right now on the left wing at Feyenoord.
24:24You saw him yesterday.
24:25Yes.
24:25In my opinion, he's an attacking midfielder, yeah.
24:27Yeah.
24:28So, not a left winger?
24:29No.
24:30No.
24:33Then, you were very polite about the level of the Dutch teams in the Eredivisie.
24:39But in Europe, they're doing not very well.
24:42There are more losses than wins.
24:46Is it honest from you to say that the level is very good?
24:51Yeah.
24:52The level is good.
24:53What I see, for example, in Ajax against Pesce Vindhoven, I like it.
25:02I think it was a really good level, Champions League level, in my opinion.
25:06So, yeah.
25:07They need to work.
25:08They need to insist.
25:09They need to keep going.
25:10Maybe.
25:11Maybe in the future, or in a few years, they can compete in Europe.
25:15Why not?
25:15Yeah.
25:16Because if they go abroad, it's not that well.
25:19All the teams are not doing very well in Europe.
25:21And that's the level where they all want to be.
25:24Hmm.
25:25We need to come back.
25:27Yes.
25:28So, we're not there.
25:29It's not my topic.
25:31And what can you do about that?
25:33Can you do something about it?
25:35I'm here to help all the clubs.
25:37I'm in communication with coaches, different clubs.
25:43Yeah.
25:44I can help them, of course, but this is not my topic.
25:47This is a matter of the clubs.
25:48You can ask to the clubs.
25:51Do you have contact with a lot of coaches already?
25:54Yeah.
25:55Not with everybody, but yeah, in different ways.
26:00Like?
26:02For example, with Gio, I have good relationship.
26:04In Ajax, I talk more with Jordi, but I have good relationship with Mitchell, for example.
26:10And it's like that.
26:11Yeah.
26:11It's not that you talk with the coaches just before you select players of them.
26:15It depends on the case, but no.
26:18Normally, no.
26:19No.
26:19I don't want to disturb them.
26:21No.
26:21You don't want to say anything about the way you're going to play.
26:26But what is your plan B?
26:27Do you have in your squad Michael Marino, who's going to play his role in this Dutch team?
26:35No.
26:36We have many different kinds of midfielders.
26:40We have more technical midfielders, more physical, players that can run to the spaces,
26:46players that can keep more the ball.
26:49We have fast players.
26:51Yeah.
26:52I think the list that we create, we have everything to compete well.
26:57Yeah.
26:58But can you put a name on it?
27:00Who is the man for plan B?
27:04No.
27:04The plan B is tactically.
27:05You will see.
27:06You will see.
27:06I cannot discover here, you know.
27:09Because we had a pinch hitter and he did very well against Argentina in the World Cup.
27:14Last summer in the World Cup against Morocco.
27:19Yeah, we have different strikers as well, different wingers.
27:23Yeah, we can play in different ways for sure.
27:26Yeah, yeah.
27:26But you don't need a guy like Weghorst, for example.
27:30Right now.
27:31He's not in the list.
27:32But still, I insist, the door is open.
27:36But you're going to play four matches.
27:38So, if he's not on the list for four matches, when do you need him then?
27:43In November there is another list.
27:46Okay, thanks very much.
27:49Yeah.
27:50Yes, good morning.
27:51Good morning.
27:52Because of the full calendar, the Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois asked the coach
27:58to skip him from the Nations League and he will be available again for the Euro qualifications.
28:05Virgil van Dijk played last year more than 70 games and he also has a tough calendar.
28:09Did he discuss with you the option to skip the Nations League and be available again for the Euro?
28:16No.
28:17No, no.
28:18We need him.
28:18We understand that he's in a good moment, a good fit.
28:21Yeah.
28:22He will be with us.
28:23We will manage the situation.
28:24It depends.
28:25We have four games in a really short period and we will manage the situation.
28:31That's why we call 26 players.
28:35Yeah, but did you also discuss this with Memphis?
28:38Yeah, with Memphis we had a very good conversation.
28:41Yeah, very good.
28:41But also with the Nations League and the Euro to skip the Nations League and then come back
28:48for the Euro?
28:49No, not at this point.
28:51We do three minutes and then we try to wrap it up.
28:54Eerste rij, Willem, and then we go after him.
28:57Good morning.
28:58Good morning.
29:00What do you like about the directness of Dutch people?
29:07Maybe because they are telling me the truth, you know.
29:11And what is the truth?
29:12The truth, that they are direct, they are honest.
29:14Yeah, I feel it.
29:16Yeah, maybe you can like me, but at least you are talking to me straight forward, you
29:22know.
29:23Straight, very straight.
29:24So I like it.
29:25Yeah.
29:25And when are you satisfied after these two weeks?
29:28You say about dominance and so, but what is a good point when you are satisfied after
29:33those two weeks, these two weeks?
29:38The last two weeks?
29:40The results, but the football.
29:42Yeah, that's why everything is connected, I think.
29:46If we play good football, maybe we will take results.
29:50Yeah, but I want to see, you know, like passion on the pitch.
29:56With ball, without ball, as a team, teamwork.
29:59Yeah.
30:00And then, of course, the result is the most important part of this sport.
30:07But I want to see positive vibes on the pitch.
30:12That's it.
30:13And although you and your team, for example, in Barcelona, with Messi, with Iniesta, with
30:17all those great players, everybody spoke about individuals all the time, but the great
30:23individuals, but it's also, it is every time it's about teamwork.
30:27This is the point that I told you before.
30:30Everybody must understand that we are a group, we are a family, no egos.
30:36The most important part here is the group, the team.
30:39Everybody must think for the group.
30:44I think the last one.
30:45Yeah.
30:47Good morning, up here.
30:48Yeah.
30:49Good morning.
30:50You invited a couple of new players, young players, like Van Bommel and Sergio.
30:55What do you expect of them?
30:58The same that they are showing in their clubs.
31:01They are in a good level, you know, with confidence, with passion.
31:08They have ambition.
31:10Yeah.
31:10Really good.
31:10That's why they are here.
31:12They are performing.
31:14Yeah.
31:15I'm happy to have them in the squad.
31:18Will the fans see differences on the pitch starting from Thursday?
31:26The comparison is for you.
31:30I want that people can see, you know, a team with passion, with ambition, with intensity.
31:38Yeah.
31:38I want to see.
31:40That's why we will training hard these days in order to compete in the best way on Thursday
31:46against Germany.
31:46That is a really tough game.
31:49What do you think is the potential of this team in terms of winning big tournaments?
31:55The last step?
31:57Well, I think we have, we must have mentality, you know, the ambition.
32:04We want to be the protagonist on the pitch.
32:08This is I want.
32:09This is my way to play.
32:10So let's see if we have the capacity to do it.
32:14Yes.
32:15Thank you all.
32:16And to the midday.
32:17Thank you very much.
32:20Thank you very much.
32:45Thank you very much.
32:49Thank you so much.
