Netherlands vs Hungary Match Preview

The World Cup runners up will be without injured Mark van Bommel again when they host Hungary on Tuesday. Bert van Marwijk did not miss his son-in-law in the away match against the Maygars on Friday, when the Dutch crushed the home team 4-0 in Budapest.

Some say the Dutch coach even got lucky to have some key players injured, because he would have had to keep star players on the bench, which could have led to unhappy players. After Friday’s convincing win there only happy faces in the Dutch team.

With Van Bommel injured, Rafael van der Vaart and Nigel de Jong played on the midfield behind the three attacking midfielders Ibrahim Afellay, Wesley Sneijder and Dirk Kuijt in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Van Marwijk is expected to field the same starting eleven on Tuesday. Robin van Persie will be the lone striker again. The Arsenal forward is back from an injury during which Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was on fire in the Orange squad. The Schalke 04 striker is injured for the two Hungary matches, which made Van Marwijk’s choice for the target man easy.

Van Persie scored the 4-0 in Budapest on Friday and he was happy with the result and the overall performance of the team. “We were a mix of FC Barcelona and Arsenal. We played a splendid passing game, but it was not just gallery play, our passing game was always aimed towards the target.” Van Persie and Van der Vaart agreed upon the good atmosphere in the team. “Everybody worked for everybody”, Van Persie said. “There used to be some jealousy amongst the players in the past”, Van der Vaart said. “But nowadays everybody plays at a big club and everybody is willing to play at each other’s service.” The Tottenham Hotspur ace will add the ninetieth cap to his tally if he plays on Tuesday. That would make him the fifth Dutch player to have ninety caps or more to his name.

With their 4-0 win in Budapest on Friday the Netherlands extended their winning streak to seven since drawing 1-1 at Ukraine in August 2010. It is their second longest winning streak under Van Marwijk, who recorded ten straight wins between March and July 2010. Netherlands and Germany are the only teams to win all five of their 2012 ECh Qualifying matches. Spain is also perfect with four wins. In ECh/WC qualifying The Dutch are on a 13-match winning streak, because they also won all eight 2010 World Cup qualifying matches.

Netherlands vs Hungary Match Report

The Dutch crowd came to the Amsterdam Arena with high expectations after the 4-0 show against the Maygars in Budapest last Friday. The Orange fans did not get another FC Barcelona-like football show however. Robin van Persie scored the opener in the 13th minute but the Dutch were not able to control the match and Hungary fought back.

Bert van Marwijk was irritated but relieved: “We lost the ball too much, we played sloppy and we wanted show-off too much.” The Dutch coach only complimented one player. “Afellay was execellent today. He was very good, pressuring his opponent and playing an awesome offensive game as well.”

Early in the second half Gergely Rudolf leveled the score with a deflected shot and a few minutes later the visitors even took the lead when the unlucky leftback Erik Pieters gave Zoltan Gera the opportunity to score 2-1.

Wesley Sneijder scored 2-2 and Ruud van Nistelrooy added the 3-2. Hungary did not give up however and Gera leveled the score again in the 75th minute. The Hungarian striker thus became the first player to score 20 goals for Hungary since József Kiprich in 1991. Three minutes later Kuyt netted a very precise Ibrahim Afellay assist to put the Dutch up again and in the 81st minute he wrapped up the game with a beautiful but lucky goal. The Liverpool striker lifted the ball over goalkeeper Márton Fülöp but admitted that he intended the ball as an assist for Van Nistelrooy, who replaced the slightly injured Van Persie in the second half.

Van Nistelrooy scored his 35th international goal and he equaled Faas Wilkes’ career total of 35 goals. Only Patrick Kluivert (40) and Dennis Bergkamp (37) scored more goals for Netherlands. Van Nistelrooy also equaled Johan Cruijff with a record 22 goals in ECh and WC qualification matches.
