Last Wednesday, Dutch media inquired about the Netherlands’ readiness or outlook before the duel with Atletico Madrid, one of which was the playing system. Because some media expect that Koeman may adjust to using 3 central defenders.

“Playing with four defenders, I think it’s very clear,” Koeman said.

In addition, the 61-year-old trainer also mentioned the performance of Stefan de Vrij, a defender who was deployed as a right-sided center half. This player received a lot of praise from the media.

“I agree, Stefan de Vrij played (as central defender) on the right in the game against Poland last Sunday. He previously played in that position at Inter Milan, where it happened in a five-man defense system.

“But right now we don’t know who will be on the field. (vs France)”
