After dismantling Tunisia's squad with a 3-1 victory, the Netherlands' footballers are poised to take another significant step in the World Cup knockout stage.
Virgil van Dijk and his teammates are now eagerly anticipating their clash with Morocco, who finished second in Group C. The match is scheduled for next Monday in Monterrey, Mexico. Meanwhile, Japan faces the daunting task of taking on Brazil in the Round of 16.
“The Moroccans have caused problems for every team they've played against, and they've done so in recent years. In my opinion, they are a fantastic team. It will be tough,” commented Virgil van Dijk on the upcoming encounter.
And Frenkie de Jong added: “I think it will be a good match. Morocco has a great squad, but so do we, so it will be an enjoyable game to watch.”
