Van Gaal urges to take Estonia seriously

Holland manager Louis van Gaal admits his side should take Estonia challenge seriously and do their utmost to get the three points as the teams clash on Amsterdam Arena today.

The Dutch have made a flawless start to their qualifying campaign, having duly delivered the victories over Turkey, Hungary, Andorra and Romania in their opening four games. Holland are currently finding themselves at the top of Group D, three points above their closest rivals Hungary.

Van Gaal believes the team has to funnel all energies into a job to get the job done and open up a six-point lead over the closes rivals. He said: “the expectations will be high, the audience will probably have a score of 5-0 in their head. But that is just more difficult, especially given that the system Estonia play, with two rows of four and just one striker.”
