Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has rapped Holland teammates after their 4-0 thrashing by France.

The Netherlands were hammered at the Stade de France as they began their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign in the worst possible fashion. The match was Ronald Koeman's first in his second spell as Dutch boss.

Van Dijk said, “If you are 2-0 down after seven minutes, it will be a hell of a job. It's very bad how we start here. Then you'll be chasing the facts all evening.

“We will definitely have to look at this. It is difficult to analyse so soon after the game, but after seven minutes it is already done.

"I don't know if it's the worst international match I've had. It sure is a big hit. We tried to recover after that bad start, but we didn't succeed.

"We had way too many ball losses and were too weak in the duels. France punishes that immediately."
