http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nigel-de-Jong-c27882, has expressed confidence that his side’s chances of not to qualify for the 2014 World Cup are now minimal after winning all of their opening four qualifiers.
The Oranje commenced their qualification campaign brightly by claiming comfortable 2-0 and 4-1 victories against Turkey and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andorra-c2837 and Romania.
And De Jong, who has thus far represented the Flying Dutchmen in 63 matches, has insisted that it seems highly unlikely that Netherlands now fail to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 after winning all of their four opening games.
“There are still a few games to go, but this just cannot go wrong. We still have Hungary and Romania at home. We have to play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026, but only in the last game”, the AC Milan midfielder was quoted as saying to De Telegraaf.
The 27-year-old, who joined the Milan giants earlier this year in the summer transfer window after making over 100 league appearances for Manchester City, went on to reveal about the Oranje’s last victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Romania-c2990.
“We knew that this would be a difficult game. Romania were confident after victory in Turkey and were supported by many enthusiastic fans. We knew as players that we would have to go one step further. And that was what happened. All credit to the young
guys”, De Jong concluded.
The Flying Dutchmen started proceedings hesitantly at Arena Nationala on October 16, but they still managed to grab the lead in the ninth minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremain-Lens-c18323.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ciprian-Marica-c9258, Rafael van der Vaart’s strike at the stroke of half-time restored
his side’s two goals lead.
After the half-time break, the Oranje remained the better side, and Robin van Persie’s goal put the match to bed in the 84th minute.
