How the Netherlands must do without De Jong after a 7-0 win over Greece

De Jong won each of the three ground duels he contested and also succeeded in his only aerial duel.

His blend of defensive work and progressive passing helped the Netherlands move the ball into advanced areas while retaining control.

Explaining the substitution, De Jong said, “Well, it was 5‑0 at half‑time. I’d only just come back from injury and everything, so it was fine as it was. Yes. I mean, I’ve only just come back from an injury. It’s not as if I’ve got much match fitness yet.”

Spanish press warns Frenkie de Jong is damaging Barcelona

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is expected to welcome the display, seeing it as a reminder of De Jong’s ability to make possession productive without unnecessary risk.
