Komai was behind him and he wasn't telling him what side he should block.
And that is why they conceded the goal and then, okay, Van Dijk, if you score 12 goals, this is 12, you know, with a header, made a difference, you understand, for him to score again.
And as a captain, it's very important.
But moving forward, he said it after the game, you could hear him talk and saying like, look, I have to believe in the team.
The key thing for this team will be like, how are they going to gel together in the sense of like, what is the strategy going to be?
Because they cannot be thinking too far ahead to what the game plan is going to be.
And if they're still trying to press the game, they better hurry up to make sure that they have that intact, because if not, it's going to be too late.
I know there's a lot of pressure from every country.
I think, you know, whenever you are at the country and you represent that country, people always give you the feeling like it's impossible almost, you understand, to succeed at what you want.
And you as a team have to shake yourself off it.
When it comes to Holland, the key thing, I think, how far they will come, it will come down how much are they as a team and they will stick together and have the belief and making sure, you understand, that they...
Because I feel like they did it the last tournament, they got to a certain level, but I felt like the shackles came off and they couldn't really handle the pressure where they were at.
Okay, I know Argentina was a top team and a top country, I mean, but away from that, because they had Messi and all that, but away from that they have to make sure that things like that don't repeat themselves and they need to be ready for whatever comes at them.
It will be a very, very tough tournament.
The key thing, you know, I wasn't really impressed in seeing too much of him and I expected more.
I think Larsson did well for them, but Shelrop, the one on the left, he was the key figure.
The way he handled the ball, the way he created certain danger.
