Netherlands vs Czech Republic Preview
The winner of this match will move on to the quarterfinals, with the Netherlands the overwhelming favorite to win. Oranje has won all three of their games so far in the tournament, scoring eight goals in the process.
“Of course we are looking forward to the start of the knockout phase,” Netherlands coach Frank de Boer said this week. “We have to be at the top to get a good result against the Czech Republic. They showed what they can do in the group stage, we will have to work hard. We will use the next few days to analyze the Czech Republic properly.”
The Netherlands coach has also been touting the importance of self-confidence. “What we need to do is believe in what we are trying to achieve,” de Boer added. “Let’s hope that it will stay like this so it means we are achieving good results or getting further in the tournament.”
On the other side, the Czechs finished behind England and Croatia in Group D, with their four points just enough to make them one of the top third-place finishers. They are 1-1-1 so far through three games, beating Scotland 2-0 out of the gate before managing a 1-1 draw against Croatia and falling to England, 1-0 in their final group stage match.
“We need to improve the control of the ball around the opposition’s box. We had good chances, but we did not complete the (attack) phase,” midfielder Tomas Soucek said heading into this match.
