First of alla, she underline the Orange Team is a big complement one each other, and that is what the want to create. And it is important to know to the world they are a new team with another coach, staff and young players so as to see how the could play together. For she is a matter of attitude.

Second,the look after the question is they really miss María Verschoor or Xan de Waard and also enyoing the young talent that are coming.The most importat thing for his hockey is to show they are better than other country in the world. To miss to old ones and have the new one and still be the great in the pitch.

Finally,she talked that is very important the attitude inside the pitch, agree that they only thing about his team and not if the opponent is scary.

All started…

1)    Well, im with Frederique Matla, congratulations for the win it seems to be easy the hockey u play and its not easy

The team

¿The team? O, yeah! I think is a big complement I think is a thing we want to create. Looks easy that we show the world we are capable of.I think we show some things today and for us is more important just to get started with the new team,new coach, new staff, so as is the most important to play games and to see how the news feet it and just how to plays with each other to and saw how it goes off.For us is nice to get so it to play for the points again today in a new Pro season.So it was very fun to play in attitude, to hear it looks easy because is a big compliment

2)    And you didn’t miss Maria or Xan, I was talking with Yibbi and Netherlands is like a clock

Like a clock is all in order, never miss the clock

I don’t know what you mean, ¿do you think we miss them today?

No,no,because you play very well

I think is a good we have a lot of young players that can feet it in the team, so we are really really enoying to see how the young girls are coming in the team and how we can create a very new team and just see how it goes and for us the goes is to be better than ever opponent every see in front of us and to be the best in the world, so to show that to the world, we show it today and every game is coming just to be the goal for us so, to have the new players and to miss the old ones and to still be good on the pitch is for us very important.

3)    ¿When you play you feel the other team is scared?

¿The other team is what?

Scared

Oh, I think that every field that game, I think in the preparation before the game I think is for us to just show them by actitude, and by yeah, just a technical stop and the technical staff, we can show them with attitude and that we are the best, and that can be scary for the opponent but I don’t think that we know that they are scary but for us, that is a good thing that they can be because we are doing for each other.
