Koeman: The Netherlands need to increase their threat in the midfield attacking position, and Kluivert is very good in this aspect

In the European group stage of the World Cup preliminaries, the Netherlands went to an away game to challenge Poland. In this game, Oranje coach Koeman continued to use Kluivert Jr. as the No. 10 instead of Reinders. Koeman explained his lineup selection before the game.

Koeman said: "I am satisfied with Kluivert's performance. He is a different type of player. We need to increase the threat in the offensive position in the midfield. He is better than Reinders in this regard."

"Especially in this game. In the middle, Gakpo will be more active on the outside, while Malen is relatively more inside. It is true that Heitreida is more active on the inside, so sometimes Malen will be more wide. However, we also performed very well in the game with Heitreida as the right back."
