In the World Cup Group A battle, the Dutch team advanced to the first place as the king, and will face the runner-up of Group B, the United States, in the round of 16. In a press conference before the match, midfielder Dillon Dillon revealed that the team has been training intensively for the penalty shootout, aiming to do everything they can to win the World Cup.
As we all know, Dutch head coach Yungol has been emphasizing the goalkeeper's penalty kick saving training, and Dilruen also revealed in the conference that he and his teammates have been practicing hard on penalty kick shooting: We have been training for some time now, and the assistant coaches arranged for us to have a penalty kick training session during the international matches a couple of months ago. Although we can't fully simulate the tension of the World Cup, this at least allows us to find a shooting strategy.
Although the Dutch team remained undefeated in the group stage, the performance on the attacking end was not as good as it could have been. DeLuen said he wouldn't care about the ups and downs during the tournament if he ends up winning the title: We all want to win every game 5-0, but World Cup matches aren't that simple. It doesn't matter how you win, including penalty shootouts, I wouldn't mind being the champion even if I don't play well.
