Ronald Koeman, coach of the Netherlands National Team, knows what awaits him in Berlin: a stadium where Turkey will practically be home thanks to the tremendous support of its public in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024.
But the coach is calm, because he knows that if his team takes control of the ball, the pressure from the public will decrease. The match between the Netherlands and Türkiye It will be Saturday, July 6 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
“We know what awaits us. I think it will be beautiful to play in an atmosphere like this. It will be enough for us to keep the ball in our possession and they will make less noise,” said the ‘A Clockwork Orange’ strategist.
Nearly 200,000 people of Turkish origin live in Berlin, so an excited crowd is expected at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, not only because of what it means to see their team in the quarterfinals but also because of the annoyance with UEFA after the “disproportionate” punishment of Merih Demiral.
