With club football already over, the teams are beginning to prepare to get in tune for the next Euro 2024. The Netherlands team, one of the serious candidates to win this European international tournament, will face the Iceland team in a friendly match.
Below we leave you with the possible lineup of Holland for this match:
BY: FLEKKEN- The Brentford goalkeeper seems to be the one chosen at least in this match to defend his country’s goal in a match where the rivals are not expected to shoot much.
LD: DUMFRIES- It will be the Serie A full-back who defends this right flank. With his team more accustomed to an offensive game in a defense of five, and it is not ruled out that at some point his team will try something similar.
DFC: DE LIGT- Firmness and security in the legs of De Ligt who claims to make a great defensive pairing with his teammate and who is a safe back as a center back. Guaranteed player who has just played a good season with Bayern.
DFC: VAN DIJK– The veteran defender brings experience and solidity to the Dutch defense. After another magnificent season with Liverpool that he has revived after having a more discreet previous one, he is the player you can always trust.
LI: BLIND- More experience in the legs of a Blind who comes from playing for one of the teams that has amazed all of Europe, such as Michel’s Girona. In his legs part of this merit that will be transmitted to his selection.
MC: KOOPMEINERS- He has been a great player for a long time but has emerged this season as a Koopmeiners superclass. Winner of the Europa League among other things and demonstrating his career and ability on the field.
MC: VEERMAN- JoeyVeerman, the PSV midfielder, will be another of those chosen to command and organize the oranges in this match against Iceland where they may have a lot of ball.
MC: XAVI SIMMONS – Possibly the pearl of his team, the best player on the team with the permission of Van Dijk, and if we talk about quality, the young Xavi Simmons has to give and give from the midfielder.
ED: MALEN- Malen will be the one chosen to occupy this right profile. Player who comes from sadly losing the Champions League final, but now arriving makes this a great season for the forward.
DC: WEGHORST- The Dutch striker has already proven to be in important moments for his team, and although his time at United was not as good as expected, he is a decisive 9 in the final third.
EI: GAKPO- And finally, the young Liverpool player who two years ago emerged as a growing pearl, and although it seems that he may have stagnated somewhat, and is not going to reach what was expected, he is very good from that left profile.
This is what the Netherlands lineup would look like (4-3-3)
Goalie: Flekken
Defenses: Dumfries, De Ligt, Van Dijk, Blind
Midfielders: Koopmeiners, Veerman, Xavi
Forwards: Malen, Weghorst, Gakpo
