Netherlands \u2013 Euro 2024 Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Netherlands are a proud football nation with a rich history of success at international level. The team is known for its technical prowess, tactical brilliance and passion for the game. Despite not winning an international title since Euro 1988, they have always been a force to be reckoned with in major championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an early exit from Euro 2020, the Dutch soccer giants bounced back in Qatar where they reached the quarter-finals and were a penalty shoot-out away from knocking out eventual world champions Argentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the start of the European Championship, the Netherlands are not among the biggest favourites, however, they have some quality players and their record in the Euros and the World Cup. This means that they cannot be underestimated and are capable of making a run deep into the tournament. They have been drawn in Group D <\/a>against France<\/a>, Austria <\/a>and the play-off winners from Path A, Poland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the Netherlands qualified for Euro 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Dutch made it to the finals of Euro 2024 in Germany via a second place EC qualifying group B where they were drawn against France, who, as it happens, they will also face in the finals. The French won the group with a four point lead over the Netherlands. The points tally for Ronald Koeman’s side was 18 from eight matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their dropped points came in the two matches against the French, with two defeats, 4-0 away and 2-1 at home going alongside six victories. Other than those two defeats to France, the Netherlands were watertight at the back, with no goals conceded in their six wins.The Dutch shared the goals around during the qualifying campaign with Cody Gakpo, Calvin Stengs and Wout Weghorst each finding the net three times.  <\/p>\n\n\n

Netherlands Euro 2024 squad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ronald Koeman, one of the greats of Dutch football, will try to lead his national team to new successes. Koeman is known for his distinctive footballing philosophy which combines technically proficient play with a strong emphasis on tactical discipline and teamwork. A central part of Koeman’s philosophy is to foster the individual talent and creativity of players while working within the team’s structure and tactical framework. He also values \u200b\u200bthe defensive side of the game and emphasises the importance of all players contributing to the team’s defensive effort, often with pressing from the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Dutch Euro 2024 squad, there is a healthy mix of youth and experience. Senior players include the defensively strong and versatile Daley Blind, Virgil van Dijk, who is having a superb season for Liverpool and Stefan de Vrij, while Ryan Gravenberch, Matthijs de Ligt and Xavi Simons stand out as three younger stars who are capable of making an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koeman has a large number of quality players to choose from, however, in terms of challenging to win the tournament the attack might not be quite potent enough. And, despite keeping six clean sheets in qualifying, since the retirement of Edwin van der Sar, no goalkeeper has really made the position their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
