What the coaches say

Dušan Bajević, Bosnia and Herzegovina coach: "We will try to achieve the best possible result in these two matches, and then I will say goodbye. There are ambitious coaches who can help the national team in the future. We think the players know what awaits them against the Netherlands. We have injured players who are tired, others have some damage that we don't know if we can repair, but there will be new names."

Frank de Boer, Netherlands coach: "I will not give a line-up yet, but I am sure who will play. It wouldn't be good if I still had doubts. We will now play a lot more with the team that has played a lot with each other in the recent past. That was different against Mexico with a lot of other guys. We have learned from that and I am confident that things will go better on Sunday."
