Van Dijk Believes Netherlands Deserved at Least a Point Against Germany: 'Played Very Well at Times'
Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk stated the team deserved at least a point after a 1-1 draw against Germany in the Johan Cruijff Arena, praising their performance while acknowledging moments of vulnerability. Van Dijk disputed the referee's decision to disallow an opening goal due to alleged interference by Brian Brobbey. Cody Gakpo scored the equalizer, marking his 25th international goal, assisted by Ruben van Bommel on his debut. Van Bommel expressed pride in Gakpo’s finish over his own assist. AZ striker Mexx Meerdink, who replaced the injured Brobbey, reflected on near misses but remained satisfied with his impact. Denzel Dumfries emphasized the need for passion and highlighted positive aspects of the second half that the team should build upon.
