Speaking about whether he ever dreamed of playing together for the Dutch national team, Quinten appeared humble and pragmatic: "It does sound very nice, but in reality we didn't deliberately imagine such a scenario. Of course, we would follow the national team's matches, but never took playing side by side for granted." His answer reveals a pure love for soccer and respect for the honor of the national team.
In contrast, Urien expressed more emotion about the achievement: "It's not just a family fairy tale, it's a miracle in the world of soccer. We try to stay focused during the game, but at the same time we deeply enjoy this rare moment of playing side by side. As a child, such a dream seemed unattainable as it was never easy to compete at the highest level in the world and be one of the lucky 23. Standing here as twins, we feel incredibly special and know that it's not something we take for granted. Step by step we have moved towards this goal and now it is finally a dream come true."
The warm moment of reunion with their families after the game was even more emotional for the brothers. Quinten said: "Although the score was tight on the field, I felt a sense of pride when I realized that my brother and I were playing together for the Netherlands. I think we will both need to savor this special moment for years to come. The excitement and pride of our family certainly gave us great strength."
Urien also emphasized the importance of family: "The support of our family is what keeps us going. To be able to celebrate this honor with our family on such a special night is our greatest happiness. We believe that this is just a new beginning in our career and that more challenges and glory await us in the future."
