The Dutch team had bad luck before the semi-final match with England, had to cancel the press conference.

TPO - The Dutch team just had to cancel the press conference before the EURO 2024 semi-final match with England, which takes place at 2:00 a.m. tomorrow morning (July 11).

According to Dutch media, the reason was because train services were suspended for several hours after a train crashed due to an animal. The Dutch team chose to travel from Wolfsburg and Dortmund by train. Therefore, they did not appear in time to attend the press conference. "Due to the disruption of the team's planned trip to Dortmund, the replacement flight was significantly delayed, so there will be no press conference," said a statement from the Dutch Football Federation. It is reported that coach Ronald Koeman and defender Nathan Ake will hold an online press conference. When asked about the opponent's problem, England coach Gareth Southgate said this was not a significant obstacle. Because he thought this disruption would not affect the Netherlands' performance in the semi-final.

Dutch national team arrives in Dortmund later than expected

"We won't play until tomorrow. I'm sure they'll still have dinner when they get there," Southgate said. "They've still got plenty of time. I don't see that having any impact on the game." The clash between the Netherlands and England will take place at 02:00 tomorrow morning (July 11). Spain has become the first team to reach the final and they are waiting for the Netherlands or England. If the Netherlands advance to the final, Spain will have the opportunity to "avenge" the 1-5 loss at the 2014 World Cup. Notably, Spain has not won a match against the Netherlands in the past 14 years, with 2 losses and 1 draw. With the English, Spain is overwhelming with 5 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses in the last 8 meetings in the past 2 decades.
