Giovanni van Bronckhorst marked his international come back with a superb 87th
minute left foot strike to sink Argentina in the Amsterdam ArenA. On a
reasonable night for the Dutch, the game was heading for a goalless draw before
the Gunner notched up the win for the Orange. “It wasn’t brilliant, but very
interesting,” said Advocaat. The Orange look ready for the Czechs.
"Today we came across an aggressive opponent that knows all aspects of the
game. Probably one of the best sides in the world. Sure, it wasn’t easy but
we’ll have to take something positive from this win,” the manager added.
Van Bronckhorst suffered a nasty cruciate knee ligament injury last season, and
hadn’t played a game for Holland since the England clash a year ago, almost to
the day. He replaced the disappointing Mark van Bommel, had a few touches
before smacking home the winner on his first try. ‘A clean hit,’ he said
afterwards with a big smile on his face.
Target-man Kluivert was less fortunate up front, squandering a number of
chances. His early diving header unluckily struck Pablo Cavallero on the legs.
Later on the Celta Vigo goalie was quick to react to a Kluivert shot and caught
a weak point blank effort from Van Nistelrooij later on in the first half.
After Van Nistelrooij had left the pitch, in-form Roy Makaay saw partner
Kluivert again miss out, when a smooth Orange attack ended with a powerful
header from the FC Barcelona striker, but again Cavallero was up to the task
and kept his side in it.
Just when things looked like coming to a rather boring end, the game suddenly
picked up, with chances at both ends. Argentina on occasions looked dangerous
on the break with substitute Saviola and Sorin. But with Van Bronckhorst’
brilliant strike, Advocaat made it seven wins in a row, an all time record.
With the crucial Czech qualifier in mind he didn’t take the time to celebrate
that fact. “The crunch match is yet to come,” he repeated once more.
Just for the statistics, the Czechs beat European Champs France in their own
backyard by 0-2. Things are hotting up, but the Dutch look ready.
