Watch out for this player from Germany

For this match, we'll need to keep a close eye on Kai Havertz throughout the 90 minutes. The German center-forward is one of the most important players in both Arsenal and his national team. Additionally, Kai Havertz has the ability to drift from his position to act as a midfielder and help Germany distribute the ball across the field.

Watch out for this player from the Netherlands:

For this match, the player to watch will be the player who is today, the best defensive center back in the world; Virgil Van Dijk. The current Liverpool defender and very important piece of the Netherlands national team is characterized for being one of the most unbalanced players since no one can pass him thanks to his great speed that prevents him from being defeated in hand to hands, likewise, Van Dijk is a great option in corner kicks so he can find a goal at any time.

The power of the Clockwork Orange

The Netherlands team managed to qualify for UEFA Euro 2024, which will be held in Germany next summer. From now on, they only need to continue preparing to face one of the highest-level tournaments in international football, where the Dutch will aim to surprise the old continent by winning the coveted Nations Trophy. In their last official match on November eleventh last year, the Netherlands secured the final victory of the Euro qualifying group stage, defeating Gibraltar 2-0. It is also worth noting that after this friendly, close attention will need to be paid to the Netherlands team as they will face Canada and Iceland before the start of the Euro.
