Netherlands
PGE Narodowy will host Thursday’s Nations League game between Poland and Netherlands. Czeslaw Michniewicz’s men aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Oranje. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Barcelona superstar Robert Lewandowski, with Piort Zielinski (Napoli), Arkadiusz Milik (Juventus), Sebastian Szymanski (Feyenoord), and Mateusz Klich (Leeds United) making the cut as well.
Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has been left out of the squad, while Man Utd’ Tyrell Malacia has received a call-up. Talented midfielder Kenneth Taylor could make his Netherlands debut against Poland. Louis van Gaal’s men aim to retain top position in Group 4, and seeing that both sides will go for a win in Thursday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Poland defenders should have Memphis Depay at bay.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
Highlighted Team (Netherlands):
Netherlands are well known for the colour of their shirts. The orange colour is the symbol of the Dutch national team and that is the reason why they got a nickname the Oranje. Netherlands won the 1988 European Championship in West Germany, with the team beating the Soviet Union in the title game.
A number of top-class players were part of the Netherlands national team that won the Euro 1988 trophy, with the likes of Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Erwin Koeman all starting the match against the Soviet Union. However, many people consider Johan Cruyff the best player in the history of Dutch football. Cruyff won three European Cups with Ajax as a player and he clinched the European Cup with Barcelona as a coach.
Johan Cruyff is well known as “the father of modern football”. Netherlands participated in the World Cup final on three occasions (1974, 1978, 2010), but they have yet to win the prestigious trophy. The Oranje welcome their rivals at Amsterdam ArenA, Philips Stadion and Stadion Feijenoord.
