The Netherlands' comprehensive win over Romania in their last match at the European Championship has given them a large dollop of confidence ahead of their quarter-final tie against Turkey on Saturday, coach Ronald Koeman said on the eve of the clash.The Dutch enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 victory in their round of 16 game to show a major improvement after squeezing through the first phase in third position in their group."It shouldn't be that we need a defeat to spark a good performance and come out of our shell," said Koeman of the triumph over Romania, which followed a 3-2 loss to Austria."But we created a lot of chances and showed a lot of speed up front.
It was good game even if the opponent gave us a lot of room."Koeman warned, however, that Turkey would be a tougher proposition."This is a different opponent with different qualities.
They have played with four at the back, but also with five. Just like the Romanians, they showed a lot of heart in how they play.
But we are more worried about ourselves."We are playing in Berlin for a semi-final, a great opportunity to progress even further in the tournament.But we're not just going to romp to a win, that certainly won’t be the case.
