Netherlands Euro 2020 Squad
Netherlands Euro 2016 squad? Euro 2020 Netherlands squad? The Dutch are going through a resurgent period after failing to qualify for the 2016 European Championship and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Ronald Koeman has come in and straightened up the team and their expectations. He has had a favourable group of players rise above the ranks as well.
They have one of the strongest backlines in the tournament with Virgil van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt likely to pair up at centre-back. Youngsters like Steven Bergwijn and Donyell Mallen are really impressing at club level and could make a big impression this summer. Frenkie de Jong will be another player to watch in the 2020 Euros in midfield.

Netherlands Euro 2020 Squad Key Players
Virgil van Dijk
The Netherlands captain is no doubt, a key player in the squad. He is arguably one of the best defenders in the world right now and his influence will definitely be considerate from the back. The 28-year-old is good on the ball, composed with his challenges and is a vocal presence on the pitch. His leadership abilities keep the entire team ticking which was especially seen after his £75m switch to Liverpool.
Giorginio Wijnaldum
Wijnaldum has progressively become better with much of the credit going to Jurgen Klopp. The German has allowed Wijnaldum to express his best self in midfield and this has resulted in him turning into a top player. The 27-year-old’s technical abilities are key to Netherlands’ build-up play.
