Netherlands international Brian Brobbey was forced off injured in Thursday's home match against Germany in the Nations League. The striker was replaced by Mexx Meerdink in the 34th minute.
The Dutch welcomed Xavi to the "Oranie" bench in a different way, on the sidelines of the match against Germany.
Under Dutch influences Xavi once matured to a world-class player. Now he is national coach of the Netherlands. But he is not particularly warmly welcomed before the debut against the DFB-Elf.
The new national coach Xavi wants the Netherlands to play offensively and energetically. The question is how much of that will already be visible in his debut on Thursday against Germany. "We will take the initiative. We will be brave defensively."
