Juncker just has to select players for the plan in Scotland

Junker said that Vicky Kaptein, who suffered a shoulder injury last week, was in good condition. “I expect to be able to use that if I want. I’ll hear from the doctor about Victoria Belova tonight.” Some players, including Daniel van de Donk, canceled training prematurely on Monday. “It’s not without reason, but she trusts him and so do I,” Juncker said.

The national coach believes the group of players has developed as a result of the weeks they spent together during the World Cup finals in Australia and New Zealand. “I think we have more than eleven good players. You can see that in Kirsten Kasparij who replaced Dominik Janssen well and Renate Janssen who replaced Viktoria Belova. Kaitlin Dykstra has quietly taken over, albeit in a different way, from Stephanie van der Gragt “

According to Juncker, this is no coincidence. “It happened in the summer. Everyone trained hard all those weeks to reach the group level. The confidence we had was also based on knowing that we had more than eleven players who could fill the void. That’s why there’s no panic.”

Juncker expects Scotland will have to try something tomorrow to pick up points in the UEFA Nations League match. But he is relying on his own strength in the second match in four days against the same opponent. “We did that against Germany, America, England and Spain. I see no reason to change that against Scotland. We will play football the way we want and we will try to do it in the best possible way.”
