Orange not yet ready for Poland: 'The reserve team was better at the training'

Ronald Koeman is not completely satisfied with the Orange after the last training for the World Cup qualifying cracker on Thursday in De Kuip against Poland. The national coach saw that his intended basic eleven was less strong on Wednesday afternoon than the team of substitutes.

“Whether we are ready for Poland? Well, this morning it turned out not,” Koeman said on Wednesday at a press conference of Orange in Zeist. “The reserve team was better. Fortunately we still have a day.”

Koeman said it with a smile and didn’t want to lift it too heavy. “I am not getting nervous, but it gives me the opportunity to put some points on the i.”

Incidentally, it was not that the reserves won the mutual training party. “It remained 0-0,” said Tijjani Reijnders, who joined the press conference next to Koeman. “But there were too many sloppiness on our part. It has to be sharper. That way we don’t want to start against Poland tomorrow.”

It is not that Koeman will make changes based on the training. “I don’t get confused. There are things that have to be better and I mention,” said the national coach.

Koeman also has a fit selection, he said. Memphis Depay and Frenkie de Jong trained adjusted on Tuesday, but fully participated in the group on Wednesday. De Jong will form the midfield against Poland with Reijnders and Ryan Gravenberch.

Memphis will probably also start. He is preferred to Wout Weghorst, although we said two weeks ago that he thinks he should always start.

“Wout is always honest and I can certainly appreciate that,” said Koeman on Wednesday. “It is an open book, he says what he thinks. That is no problem. If Wout does not agree with something, he will shake his head twice and gives full gas again. He now also knows what his role is, but that does not mean he can never start.”

The Netherlands against Poland starts on Thursday at 8.45 pm in De Kuip. The match is led by the Italian referee Simone Sozza. With a win, the Orange squad takes a big step towards the World Cup next year in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
