Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk urged his team-mates to maintain self-criticism despite securing a 2-1 Nations League win over Serbia. While praising two-goal debutant Mexx Meerdink, the defender warned that defensive lapses must be corrected immediately.
AZ striker Mexx Meerdink described his two-goal performance in the Netherlands' 2-1 victory over Serbia as a childhood dream fulfilled. The 23-year-old forward seized his full debut opportunity in Belgrade following Brian Brobbey's injury withdrawal.
