Jong Oranjecoach Reiziger: ‘Duel beslist in kleine details’Michael Reiziger is disappointed with Jong Oranje’s elimination against England. “It’s really bitter. We had a tough time against them, but it was a match decided in the small details,” he tells Ziggo Sport. He did enjoy Ohio’s goal. “It’s a pity it wasn’t enough today. It was a long journey for him too.”
Doelpuntenmaker Ohio: ‘Elliott kon een koffietje drinken’Noah Ohio was criticized during the tournament but did score in the semi-final against England. “I always look at the keeper. When the ball comes to my left, I always shoot. A great moment, but I’d rather have won,” he says to Ziggo Sport. From the bench, he saw Jong Oranje fall behind. “We survived the first twenty minutes thanks to Roefs. We mainly got our chances through Valente.”
The goals came after halftime from England through Elliott. “Conceding a goal that late is extra painful. He could have had a coffee with the last goal. We can be proud of each other, but this hurts.”
Rav van den Berg: ‘Individuele kwaliteiten geven doorslag’Defender Rav van den Berg had a tough match against England. “The tempo made it very difficult. We got better in the second half, but their individual qualities made the difference,” he says to Ziggo Sport. Van den Berg felt there was more in it. “They would get tired at some point. That happened, but we ended up empty-handed. So there was certainly more achievable.”
Jong Oranjeaanvoerder Hato: ‘Zonde hoe we tegengoals weggeven’Jorrel Hato saw that there was more in it for Jong Oranje. “They have quality and punish it immediately. The way we concede the goals is really bad on our part. The defending was substandard,” he said after the match to Ziggo Sport. He is particularly disappointed with the second goal conceded. “It was alibi-pressure. There was nothing going on, but it’s a waste how we concede the goals.”
90+6′ afgelopen! Jong Oranje is uitgeschakeld op het EK
It has been a very painful evening for Jong Oranje. Elliott is the big man with two goals for England. Ohio did score a brilliant goal, but it wasn’t enough.
90+3′ England seems to be playing out the match easily. The energy is draining from the Netherlands, who are no longer creating chances. All duels are also being lost.
86′ GOAL Jong Engeland! 2-1
Again, it is Elliott who does it for the English. He gets all the space to cross half the field and is allowed to shoot freely from sixteen meters. In the far corner, he beats Roefs with a low shot. Drama for the Netherlands!
85′ Manhoef goes into the depth and seems to be heading towards goalkeeper Beadle. Quansah just manages to dismantle the chance with a push.
72′ GOAL Jong Oranje! 1-1
What a goal from the newly substituted Ohio! The striker, who came on three minutes ago for Milambo, shoots from 30 meters into the near corner. Goalkeeper Beadle is caught on the wrong foot and is beaten. The attempt fits exactly between the post and the goalkeeper.
62′ GOAL Jong Engeland! 1-0
Then things go wrong for Jong Oranje! Anderson gets through in midfield and passes the ball to Elliott. The attacker can go towards goalkeeper Roefs and shoots hard into the near corner. Now the Netherlands has to do something different.
59′ Maatsen with a flaming shot from 20 meters. Beadle makes a good save in the far corner.
55′ Valente gets through on the left and crosses low. Goalkeeper Beadle processes the cross into a corner for Jong Oranje.
52′ It’s a probing game in the second half. England is not as dominant as in the first half.
46′ Aftrap tweede helft! With Wouter Goes in place of Kasanwirjo, the second half has started.
It is a match with few chances, especially for the Netherlands, leaving the score at 0-0 at halftime. So everything is still possible for Jong Oranje in the hunt for a place in the final.
45+2′ Taking that free kick doesn’t go well, leading to a counterattack from England. Scott can shoot from 10 meters, but his attempt is just blocked and turned into a corner.
45+1′ Now Anderson slaps Milambo in the face. The referee is now done with it and gives the English midfielder the first yellow card of the match.
43′ The tactical battle between England and the Netherlands continues. Certainly in the last twenty minutes, we can note few chances.
38′ Again, it is Anderson who slaps someone in the face. This time Hato is the schlemiel. The referee doesn’t see it and is not called to the screen for it either.
30′ Exciting moment in front of England’s goal as Valente wants to put Van Bergen in front of goalkeeper Beadle with a through pass. The striker seems to get a push and falls. The referee doesn’t see an offense in it.
25′ The Netherlands is getting stronger but is still creating few chances. Meanwhile, an annoying interruption of the strong Dutch phase: a drink break.
22′ McAtee comes free after a nice through pass from Livramento. The captain of Jong England tries it with a heel, but Roefs quickly makes a save.
16′ Good action from Valente who makes Anderson look silly. The midfielder then taps Valente in the face, giving Jong Oranje a free kick. That doesn’t provide a big chance.
12′ Again, it is Elliott and Roefs who seek each other out. The attacker shoots towards the far corner and again it is Roefs who saves.
9′ Jong Oranje gets a little more of the ball in the last few minutes. The Netherlands is mainly dangerous on the flanks with Poku and Manhoef.
3′ Good save from Roefs! Elliott tries it in the near corner after a good English attack. With a stretched leg, Roefs manages to keep the ball out of the Dutch goal.
2′ The Netherlands immediately puts high pressure on the English. The British play out nicely, which Jong Oranje must pay attention to in the remainder of the match.
1′ Aftrap! We are underway with the first semi-final. Can Jong Oranje reach the final for the first time in eighteen years?
Jong Oranjecoach Reiziger: ‘We moeten er gewoon vol voor gaan’Michael Reiziger is looking forward to the semi-final against England. “We just have to go for it. The heat shouldn’t play a role, because we have a heat protocol that the medical staff can handle well,” he says to Ziggo Sport. The trainer has chosen Kasanwirjo as a replacement for Rensch. “He is a real right back and therefore knows what he has to do. I do take into account that he can’t play ninety minutes.”
Jong Oranjeaanvoerder Hato: ‘Overwinning op Portugal heeft ons ‘boost’ gegeven’Jorrel Hato is captain against England in the absence of Rensch and Taylor. He therefore speaks to the press before the match. “As a player, I like to have the ball, but in the quarter-final against Portugal, it was just defending. But you also get a ‘boost’ from that,” says Hato. “If you block a ball or you shoot a ball away and everyone shouts, then that also gives confidence. We must also show this spirit against England.”
Opstelling Jong Engeland! The English are also missing a player due to a suspension. Tyler Morton is replaced by Elliot Anderson.
Opstelling Jong Oranje! Michael Reiziger has chosen the three replacements for Taylor, Rensch and Van Bommel. Nerayho Kasanwirjo plays as right back, Antoni Milambo takes over the place of Taylor and Ernest Poku starts as right winger.
