Intercepted by the microphones of The Teamthe PSG-owned talent now involved in the European Championships withHolland, Xavi Simonsspoke in the mixed zone of the Olympiastadion in Berlin at the final whistle of the match lost againstAustria by 3-2 last night. Koeman’s playmaker made an assist for Cody Gakpo, but with third place in Group D the next match in the round of 16 will be challenging.
What’s wrong with this team?
“We didn’t start the match against Austria with enough intensity. We lost some duels. Tomorrow (today, ed.) we will analyze the match to understand what happened. We need to think carefully after this defeat and talk together about what went wrong to overturn the situation. But we still qualified for the round of 16.”
Did you expect to only finish third in this group stage?
“It will be more difficult for us in this Euro. But a match lasts ninety minutes. We must not lower our heads. We must improve. Our team has some excellent players. There is no reason why we cannot all do well together.”
