Commentator Jeroen Elshoff expressed his dismay at the Manchester United star after the Netherlands drew with Germany.
After making mistakes in two goals conceded by the Netherlands against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Matthijs de Ligt continued to be trusted by coach Ronald Koeman, appearing in the starting lineup against Germany in the second round of the UEFA Nations League. However, this continued to be another difficult match for the Manchester United defender.
In both of the Netherlands’ first-half goals, De Ligt contributed to situations that created advantages for the opponents to gain the ball and score. Deniz Undav and Joshua Kimmich took advantage of those mistakes to score.
Commentator Jeroen Elshoff via FC Update said that De Ligt’s mistake for Germany’s first goal was a “fatal mistake”.
” Back to Matthijs de Ligt, who had a lot of problems with Bosnia. Of course he shouldn’t have made this mistake. It was a fatal mistake, another painful moment for Matthijs de Ligt. It’s not the first time this has happened to him.
After the Netherlands fell behind in the first half, De Ligt was taken off just before the second half began. Coach Ronald Koeman had plans for the Netherlands to regain the advantage against Germany.
Man United will visit Southampton on September 14 (Vietnam time). With the current situation, it is very difficult for De Ligt to play from the start. MU’s central defenders will most likely belong to Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez.
