The Dutch national team experienced failure at the beginning of this summer in the Nations League final four.
"Flying Dutchmen" fell to Croatia in the semi-finals after extra time, and in the battle for third place, they lost to the Italian team. The national team recently changed coaches. Louis van Gaal, who has completed his work, handed over the reins to Ronald Koeman, who returned to this position.
Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit is not inclined to blame the coach for the fluctuating results. He believes there is a lack of leaders on the field.
The former versatile player said: "I think Virgil van Dijk and Frenkie de Jong have no leadership skills. It is really naive to ask them for something they don't have. They should focus more on their game."
It is very difficult for a coach to work with a team that lacks leaders on the field. Those people should be van Dijk and de Jong."
In September, the European Championship qualifying will continue, where the Netherlands need important victories.
