Key points

Michael Reiziger is relieved and happy with the qualification of his team, the Netherlands Under 21, for the play-offs for the European Championship to be held in Serbia and Albania. The coach has great confidence in a positive conclusion to this journey. The Netherlands Under 21s beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-0 yesterday (Tuesday), but also benefited from the draw between Israel and Norway, a result which allows the Orange to qualify for the play-offs. "It was a great evening of football, exciting until the end. Finally everything went in our favor, and that's what we needed," Reiziger said after the match. The qualification was particularly appreciated by the coach, given that in the last qualifying phase his team suffered several mockeries. "If we look at what went wrong for us in this qualification, we think that two late goals were disallowed against us, while yesterday's qualifying match for Israel ended with a goal conceded in the 90th minute against Norway. In short, a bit of luck had to come for us too. But apart from that, I think it was a deserved qualification. In all the matches we had the opportunities to win, often even by a large margin, but we didn't always succeed. I don't give marks to the team, but I think we should have won more games than we have won." Now the play-offs are in sight for the Netherlands Under 21s. Reiziger said he was confident of being able to call up two players from the senior national team for the play-offs, namely defender Gjivai Zechiël and midfielder Ruben Van Bommel. "I will talk about it with Xavi, the Azzurri coach, and I hope to be able to use them for the play-offs. They are players who have done well this season and deserve to be called up." Zechiël (22 years old) is part of the Azzurri's squad, while Van Bommel (also 22 years old) has not yet received a request for his use in the Under 21 team. "I have great confidence in the team for the play-offs, because I see that we have made giant steps compared to before. For example, against Norway we should have won, and the team is better in general as individuals. Many players have had another season in the Eredivisie and are showing to have more confidence. Let's think for example of Ayoub Oufkir, who last year was one of the best in Sparta's Under 21 team, while this year he is one of the best in our team."
What happens now
With the play-offs coming up, the Netherlands Under 21 will have to prepare as best they can to face high-level opponents. Reiziger is confident in being able to call up the best players to ensure an excellent performance. The team will have to maintain high concentration and take advantage of the positive moment, hoping that luck continues to turn in their favor, after finally obtaining deserved results.
