The Dutch international has stressed that the Oranje must avoid the silly mistakes they made in the recent friendly games at Euro 2012 in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 must learn from their mistakes before commencing their Euro 2012 voyage in Poland and Ukraine, if they are to succeed in the upcoming competition.
The Oranje are not having the best of times in the preparations for European Championship. After two successive defeats in friendly encounters against Bayern Munich and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bulgaria-c2861, the Flying Dutchmen managed to cruise to a hard
fought 2-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Slovakia-c3007 at De Kuip Stadion on Wednesday, May 30.
Despite the win, the former AC Milan midfielder has insisted that the 2010 World Cup runners-up’s performances have a room for improvement.
“We are satisfied with the result, but our performance leaves room for improvement. We have to learn from the mistakes we made, because we can't afford those kinds of errors at Euro 2012. I think we are heading in the right direction,
though. We were much more threatening on the wings, and that's also where the opener came from”, Van Bommel was quoted as saying to the Dutch media.
The Oranje commenced proceedings brightly and took the lead in the eighth minute when Ibrahim Afellay’s low pass was unintentionally turned in by Salata. Fifteen minutes before the full time whistle, Rafael van der Vaart sealed
the win with a low drive that found the left corner of the net.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-c36794 Sneijder and Wilfried Bouma sustained slight injuries during the match, and the Oranje head coach, Bert van Marwijk, would be hoping that the duo return to full fitness before his side commence European Championship voyage.
Van Bommel was disappointed with the duo’s injury.
“We already had Joris Mathijsen's injury, and now Wilfred and Wesley. Let's hope it is not too serious, because we need everybody this summer”, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 star concluded.
The Flying Dutchmen will kick-off their Euro 2012 campaign against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 on June 17.
