Koeman: The Netherlands shouldn t have put themselves in trouble, I had to replace a defender in the final stage

September 8th In the European group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, the Netherlands defeated Lithuania 3-2 away. In this game, the Netherlands led two goals but was equalized by Lithuania. Fortunately, Depp scored the third goal for the Orange Army. After the game, Dutch coach Koeman expressed his views.

Koeman said: "I felt a little angry, but fortunately this game didn't affect the points, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. When we led 2-0, the opponent gradually got back to form and took a more opportunistic and physical confrontation. That free kick was played well and we had to admit it. However, Devry was blocked and caused a loophole in the defense."

"We shouldn't be in such a dilemma that I had to replace an extra defender in the last moment to increase the height. I did see some unsatisfactory moments. We performed well in some time, and the passes were smooth. But sometimes you see something happening and you think how is this possible? We can play beautiful football, but this won't win the game."
