Dutch legend Wesley Snader expressed concern about the Japanese national soccer team facing the Dutch national team 'Orange Corps' in the 2026 North-China World Cup finals.

Criticism of the Netherlands, led by head coach Ronald Koeman, has been mounting in the Netherlands, which has created an atmosphere that it will not be easy to face Asian powerhouse Japan.

Snyder, a legendary midfielder who was famous for his time as an active player, appeared on the Dutch version of the sports broadcast 'ESPN' on the 8th (local time) and said, "Japan is a strong opponent with excellent running ability and mobility in the North-China World Cup." I remember really struggling when I faced Japan at the 2010 World Cup."




The Netherlands played the second group match against Japan at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and won 1-0 with Snyder's winning goal. The Netherlands ranked first in the group with three wins in the group stage, while Japan won the other two games, advancing to the round of 16 with two wins and one loss and second place in the group. The Netherlands reached the final, and Japan lost to Paraguay in the round of 16 and suffered an early elimination.

The Netherlands and Japan will meet again at the World Cup for the first time in 16 years. It will clash in the first group match at AT&T Stadium in Texas on June 15 next year. In addition to the Netherlands and Japan, Group B winners of the European Playoffs were included in Group F.

Former Dutch midfielder Hetbighurs Ma'Durdo Snyder is on the same page. In an interview with the Dutch media 'Sport', he said "The moment Japan joined Group F at the draw ceremony, I thought 'It must be really hard " Japan is tactically and technically superior and always plays by following the rules. So it's very difficult to deal with. In addition, they recently beat Brazil, the strongest team, 3-2. This is very important for our national team."




It is a concern that it may allow an unexpected change. Snyder hopes the Netherlands will win this tournament, but he doesn't think he can. There are stronger teams, and the Netherlands has not beaten a strong team in the last five years."

In an earlier interview with Spain 'Marca', Snyder picked four teams, Portugal, Spain, France and Brazil, except for the Netherlands, as the World Cup favorites. "England is a great team, and so is the Netherlands. Maybe Germany will come back to the top. Who knows?," he added.

"Of course, the Netherlands will pass the group stage, but it will be a tough fight."
