Thursday 28-05-2026

Ronald Koeman made intriguing statements about the England national team, discussing the style he expects the English to adopt in the World Cup, particularly given the hot weather conditions that might affect the pace of the matches.

The Netherlands coach said, "You can tell how England will play by the choices they've made. They will rely on corner kicks and throw-ins. This requires the least amount of energy in hot conditions."

Koeman didn't stop there; he also directed a sarcastic comment towards Arsenal, pointing out the London team's reliance on set-pieces during the season.

He added, "And so Arsenal became champions; without the corner kicks, they wouldn't have achieved that."
