Yes the Netherlands is experiencing a decline in performance. The regeneration process carried out by the Dutch did not work properly. Now The Orange is back in training with Ronald Koeman. Koeman made his tragic debut with the Dutch national team in the Euro 2024 qualifiers until he swallowed the worst result.
The main cause of the defeat was defense. The Dutch defense looked very fragile when Kylian Mbappe managed to look stunning in that match. If you don't want to get minor results anymore, then Koeman must immediately find the right solution to overcome the problems in the Orange squad.
Kylan Mbappe and Griezman gave Ronald Koeman a job to do in his first debut in charge of the Dutch squad after Van Gaal's departure.
4-0 was a big score that the Netherlands did not deserve with the material Koeman brought to the Stade de France stadium, Paris.
Perhaps the task given by France's forwards is still the weak communication of the back line or the strategy in reading the opponent's movements still needs to be improved.
Do not let Koeman fail to pass the Netherlands from the qualifying round because I am not sure if the Netherlands can succeed under him. He is not a good coach to handle a number of star players even though when he was active as a player he was a great player even considered a legend.
I am not very convinced of Ronald Koeman as a coach... There is no need to talk about his qualities as a player, but coaching I don't know. I didn't like him during his first turn as a coach of the Netherlands and especially during his time in Barcelona I thought that he was definitely the wrong choice and at the wrong place. He seemed overburdened at Barcelona. And now this result against France, which surprised me because it was so significant and obvious. but it didn't surprise me because Koeman is not the coach who can get the best out of a team.
It is too early to make any final judgments and he should have his chance, but we should not forget that he had one chance already and now he arrives and his team gets destroyed right away.
