The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan playmaker has admitted that they never imagined suffering two successive defeats in their Euro 2012 campaign.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Sneijder-c36799 has apologised to all the Netherlands fans following his side’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of Germany in their second Euro 2012 group stage game at Metalist Kharkiv Stadium on June 13.
Die Mannschaft started the match brightly, and took the lead in the 24th minute through Mario Gomez. Seven minutes before the half-time interval, the Bayern Munich striker doubled his side’s advantage with another ruthless
strike.
The Oranje played a bit better in the second-half, and pulled one goal back in the 73rd minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380. However, it was not enough for the Oranje, as the match ended in a 2-1 win for the Germans.
The Oranje are sitting at the bottom of the Group B following their two successive defeats, and are now on the brink of elimination from the competition. The Flying Dutchmen suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to Denmark, and went on
to lose against the Germans 2-1, four days later.
Sneijder, who has thus far represented the Dutch national football team in 86 matches, was extremely disappointed with his side’s performances at European Championship in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
The 28-year-old midfielder has apologised to the Dutch fans, and has admitted that they never thought about facing such a tough time.
“I do apologise to everyone for everything. This is very hard. We didn't see this coming. There is a real sense that we let the Germans win”, Sneijder was quoted as saying to De Telegraaf.
The former Real Madrid midfielder has urged his side to remain focused for their final game against Portugal, and look to win the match with a two-goal margin.
“It was hard. We have now lost twice, but we still have a chance. We need to keep believing in it. I actually thought we were out. I hadn't thought much about the scenario as it stands. I realise that if we beat Portugal, we still
have a chance. We need to go for it”, Sneijder concluded.
