Xavi Says Oranje Achieved Too Little in Debut Against Germany
In his debut as head coach, Xavi Hernández expressed satisfaction with the Netherlands' performance in their 1-1 draw against Germany, particularly praising the second half's intensity and ambition. He noted that while the first half was acceptable, the team dominated overall and deserved more than the result reflected. Xavi highlighted the importance of using players like Joey Veerman and Quinten Timber to support Tijjani Reijnders. Despite only four training sessions together, he felt the squad quickly adapted to his playing style and looks forward to the next Nations League match against Serbia on Sunday.
