Frank de Boer has announced the position of the Dutch national team. The the Dutch starts the last group game in the Nations League against Poland with four changes compared to the game against Bosnia-Herzegovina (3-1 win). Hans Hateboer, Patrick van Aanholt, Donyell Malen and Calvin Stengs have according to FOX Sports got a basic place. The match starts at 8.45 p.m.

De Boer had announced that he was going to opt for ‘fresh legs’ and is therefore making that happen. Owen Wijndal played against Bosnia and Spain as left back, but is now replaced by Van Aanholt. The rest of the defense remains intact: Tim Krul is on target, while Daley Blind and Stefan de Vrij form the central defense duo. Hans Hateboer takes over from Denzel Dumfries as right back, despite the fact that a basic place for the PSV player was taken into account in advance.

De Boer will also not change anything in midfield. Frenkie de Jong and Davy Klaassen are the controlling players in that line, while Georginio Wijnaldum plays as an attacking midfielder. As a result, Donny van de Beek is back on the reserve bench. The vanguard of the Dutch national team still consisted of Memphis Depay, Luuk de Jong and Steven Berghuis against Bosnia. Depay will now probably play as a striker, while Stengs is on the right flank and Malen is on the left. With Quincy Promes, an extra attacker is on the couch.

The Netherlands must beat Poland to have a chance of reaching the Final Four of the Nations League; only the group winner will get access to the final tournament, which will be played in October next year. the Dutch is dependent on the result of Italy against Bosnia-Herzegovina. If the Italians win the game, then go i Azzurri to the Final Four tournament. In the event of a draw or defeat, the Netherlands qualifies if it beats Poland.

Line-up the Dutch: Curl; Hateboer, De Vrij, Blind, Van Aanholt; Klaassen, F. de Jong, Wijnaldum; Stengs, Memphis, Malen
