Gakpo talks about double shots from the penalty spot: Liverpool will never give me a penalty point, but I have only conceded one in my career

Hupu News on October 10th At 2:45 on October 10th, the seventh round of the World Cup European Group G match between the Netherlands and Malta was held at the Tekari National Stadium. With the double shot of Gakpo, the contributions of Reinders and Depay, the Netherlands finally led Malta 4-0 with three points. After the game, Gakpo, Van Dijk and coach Koeman all accepted interviews with the media and expressed their opinions.

Koeman spoke

"We won the game with a score of 4-0, so the result was very good. I was not disappointed, but it is undeniable that we still have room for improvement in some aspects. I think we started well, although in the 3rd minute, due to a mistake in Van Dijk's return pass, we gave the Malta team a chance."

"Timber performed quite well in offensive organization, several times We reached the midfield position every time to pass the ball and successfully delivered the ball to the right player. However, later, the opponent began to use high-pressing tactics, and at that time, our game pace slowed down and we failed to create effective offensive space for our teammates. Although the opponent was often lack of focus when pressing."

"There were actually many spaces that could be exploited during the game, but we failed to do so. Good grasp and we need to exploit these spaces through aggressive movement. However, we gave it our all from start to finish until the end of the game. There is a lot to be praised for in this game, so I don’t care too much about your outside opinions and criticisms. "

"The Malta team dares to take risks and attack. They are fast and have several good players. Therefore, we must stand in a good position. If we cannot quickly switch offense and defense, our opponents may also pose a threat to us. They did cause us problems at certain times of the game, but their defense was almost defenseless. In the previous home game against Malta (when the Netherlands won 8-0), we dealt with it much more easily than tonight. "

"Of course, you have the right to criticize Frimpong and Dumfries' performance on the right, but I can also have my own opinion, right? I think Frimpong took advantage of himself With his speed, he made several good performances on the court. Yes, I think Dumfries' assist to Depay after Frimpong came off the field was a bit accidental. "

Van Dijk spoke

"Do I enjoy playing this kind of game? In fact, this is part of our journey. We have done our part and are now on the road to the World Cup, with three crucial games ahead of us. "

"I think our opening performance was pretty good. At that time, the pace of the game was much faster than later. Of course, we did give our opponents a chance. However, we have to understand how difficult it is to maintain the rhythm on this kind of venue, so at a certain stage, our passing and ball control will inevitably be a little sloppy and slow."

"We won this victory steadily, which is the most critical. We won this game, and then we have to focus on it. Put it on the next one. "

Jakpo spoke

"I think from the overall situation, our performance was pretty good under such poor venue conditions. "

"I was able to get the opportunity to take the penalty kick because Memphis (Depay) was not on the court at the time. At that time, we did not specify in advance who would take the penalty kick. It was decided after discussion between Wehrorst and I. ”

“When I was at Liverpool, I was never allowed Take a penalty kick. But in fact, my penalty kick skills are quite stable. I have only missed one penalty in the game between PSV and Copenhagen. "

"If we can also beat Finland on Sunday, then our situation of qualifying for the World Cup will be quite optimistic. "

" (About the situation in Liverpool) We have many new players in the team, and it will take some time for us to get used to each other. However, I'm not worried about that. "
