Virgil van Dijk celebrates success

Virgil van Dijk, in front of the NOS camera after the Orange won the match against Romania, brought out all his pride.

Then you don’t know for sure what to expect but we all knew we should do better".

" We are happy becauseé we played a good game,” he added. Defensively we were solid, we did not concede much. Maybe we should have scored more. But after a very turbulent week, in which è a lot was said, we had to prove something. Of course there are always things that can be improved".

"We can be proud of ourselves, of how we reacted but now è it is time to recover, very quickly, for another difficult game"   concluded the defender.
