Van de Ven on Late Announcement of Netherlands Squad: 'It Takes Some Getting Used To'
Dutch defender Micky van de Ven stated that it takes time to adjust to coach Xavi Hernández's decision to announce the national team lineup just two hours before matches, a shift from previous coaches. Xavi explained the late announcement stems from his playing days at FC Barcelona, where he disliked knowing early if he would play. Additionally, Xavi has added Joshua Zirkzee to the squad as a replacement for the injured Brian Brobbey ahead of Sunday's Nations League match against Serbia at the Rajko Mitic Stadium.
