Highlights Netherlands beat Romania 3-0 in Euro 2024 round of 16

After the defeat to Austria, the Netherlands were doubtful before entering the match against Romania in the round of 16 of Euro 2024. However, coach Koeman's army completely transformed and showed terrible strength. Romania only really put pressure on the Netherlands in the first 10 minutes of the match. They could not maintain that inspiration. For the rest of the match, the Netherlands turned the Allianz Arena into their stage.

"There's nothing to panic about. Sometimes the opponent is better than us," coach Ronald Koeman declared at a press conference. It can be said that the 2-3 loss to Austria in the final match of the group stage was a real shock for the Dutch. It made them doubtful before entering the round of 16. But if we look at that loss from a positive perspective, it brought many things to the Netherlands. At least, they did not have to pay the price for that defeat. In fact, the "Orange Storm" fell into a not-so-difficult bracket and met a weak opponent, Romania. If they were ranked second like the French team, they would have fallen into the death bracket. That loss will help the Netherlands look back at themselves. They are lacking a conductor with good coordination ability like Frankie De Jong. Besides, the Netherlands is quite weak in blocking counterattacks. Anyway, in this match, the Netherlands only faced a relatively "soft" opponent, Romania. This team caused a big surprise when finishing first in Group E. However, in reality, Romania only had 4 points as the bottom team Ukraine and only had a better goal difference. In particular, the surprising 3-0 victory over Ukraine in the opening round helped coach Edward Iordanescu's team make a difference. However, Romania only made an impression in the match against Ukraine. The 0-2 loss to Belgium showed many problems of this team, in which the quality of each position of Romania was not really high. Most likely, Romania will enter this match with a defensive style of play with a low formation. That is their familiar approach in this year's tournament. However, they will have to face a fairly good attack from the Netherlands. In both matches against Austria and Poland, the "Orange Storm" scored two goals. In the past, the Netherlands had an absolute advantage over Romania. In 8 matches against each other, the Orange team won 6 matches. That fate can continue to help coach Koeman's team win this match. Prediction score Romania 1-3 Netherlands
