National coach Serneels considers potty training v Netherlands: ‘Perfect moment in between’

“It’s an ideal intermediate moment towards the next campaign which is announced”, rejoices the national coach Ives Serneels. The fact that some players are unhappy with the timing of the match, which functions as a parting moment for the Orange Lionesses, does not make Serneels happy. “It’s not the mindset of the players we want with us,” it sounded clear.

“We are going to have a very combative team,” continued the head of selection. It will also be a duel depending on the opening of the League of Nations. “We are looking forward to a fantastic game on September 22. We have to try to hurt the opposition. Our main goal is resilience in difficult times.”

Goalkeeper Nicky Evrard is still disappointed the Flames aren’t active at the World Cup. “It still hurts a lot that we are not in preparation for the World Cup, but as a top athlete it is important to be able to set new goals quickly.”

“We know that the Netherlands will be very strong. It is very important for us to be 200% focused, because difficult games are brewing in September in the Nations League. Our tactical plan is ready, we know what are expected of us,” she added. concluded.
