“It was more intense of course if there a price on the line so was a whole different game”

First of all, she talked about the first part of the game against Germany that Nederlands runs behind the ball which is not normal, and makes lots of mistakes. Also, he said that against Argentina they have the same problem so they have to watch some videos to look our mistakes and learn from it.

Second, she told what means for her being the best player of the world, that shee couldn’t do it if it not was for his teammates who help her being  better day by day. The, the topic was the difference between the final Euro vs Germany and the match in Argentina

Finally, I wanna exclaimed Xan de Waard is a great persona because after the 2-0 vs Germany she asked me if I like the match, if I like watching there, I really can’t belive it because Nederlands team is more than excellent.

1)    Well I’m here with Xan de Waard, what can you tell me about the match against Germany?

Our start was not the best I think, we were running behind the ball up and we made lots of mistakes but we grutural the game and that was fine

2)    And yesterday against Argentina the first part was not well and then we improve

Yes, it was a bit the same today I think. Against Argentina was the same. So we need to watch some video and look our mistakes I think yeah. You can only learn from it.

3)    ¿And what is for you being the best player of the world?

Yeah! It’s a great honor of course, I’m really happy about it but I can’t do it without the team of course.

4)    The last question: ¿Which differences can you tell me about the final Euro and today?

Bit more fans I guess and it was more intense of course if there a price on the line so was a whole different game I guess also energy wise and yeah.

5)    I want to want that I feel that a Nederland boy because I go to sleep very happy with the conversation the other day

That’s great

Thank you
