The former AC Milan midfielder has insisted that his side defended poorly, and confessed that Ibrahim Afellay and Arjen Robben failed to threaten from the flanks in the Oranje’s first two matches.
The Flying Dutchmen headed into the European Championship as one of the title contenders, but two successive defeats have put them on the brink of elimination from the competition in the first-round.
Following their erratic showings, the Dutch media has criticised the Oranje heavily, but the skipper has insisted that his side is facing unjustified condemnation.
“Before I was a hero, now I am nothing more than the son-in-law of (Bert) Van Marwijk. I read the criticism, and I understand it. But I do not find it justified. These past four years, we were kings, and I didn't hear anything (criticism). Now we have no
value”, Van Bommel was quoted as saying to the media.

Van Bommel would be hoping that fate remains on their side, and they manage to secure a two-goal margin win over A Seleccao while Die Mannschaft maintains their 100 percent winning record on June 17.
