Holland sees green shoots

The Netherlands will debut in just one week at the European Championship. Seven days to settle the good feelings they left in the friendly against Georgia. They finally felt comfortable in the 5-3-2 that Frank de Boer is betting on, a respite after having made a match to forget against Scotland.

The harsh and boring game of the aforementioned friendly against the British was the subject of discussion across the country since Wednesday. However, the standing ovations of Enschede, which received 7,500 people, made it clear that this Holland was different. De Jong showed the route he has, Wijnaldum did not stop moving between the lines, Weghorst seems to have been confirmed as the 9th of this selection and Memphis gave an exhibition.

The Lyon striker, with a reference ahead that captures the attention of the center-backs, is another. He is the leader on which the game revolves and of course the aspirations of this team. He was decisive in the three goals and it is difficult that he does not intervene in an attack play. Getting free this summer, the European Championship will be one more showcase for a brilliant player.

The Dutch team played better than Scotland, which was not difficult, and Georgia also helped. A very weak team, which Spain will face in the first national team break next season, at the beginning of September, which did not cause too much trouble to Stekelenburg, who was the starting goalkeeper five years after his last cap.
