In the fourth round of the UEFA Europa League A, the Netherlands lost 0-1 to Germany on the road, and De Vry, who replaced the suspended Van Dyke as the captain of the team, was interviewed by the media after the game. De Vry admitted that the absence of Van Dyke has a huge impact on the team, he is the leader of the team and the core of the defense, his absence makes the team in the defensive end of the force.
For the loss of this match, De Vry said the result was not surprising because the team's performance in the match was really mediocre. Especially in the first half, the Dutch team's performance was extremely loose, easily lost a lot of possession, and even made unnecessary mistakes in the midfield, which gave Germany a lot of opportunities to counterattack. Such a performance made the Dutch team never able to get rid of the pressure exerted by their opponents, and eventually in the second half, although they improved, they still failed to create any real threat. The team also regretted conceding a corner kick at the end of the match.
De Vry emphasized that the team must carefully analyze and discuss the game to find out the reasons for the loss. He mentioned that in the previous matches the Dutch team had many positive performances, but the last two performances were very different compared to the previous ones. Today, Germany's performance was obviously one level higher than the Dutch team's and they reached a higher level. Therefore, the Dutch team needs to seriously summarize the lessons and prepare for the next matches.
