Intro:

Reaction after the Netherlands beat Spain 2-0 in friendly in Amsterdam.

Script:

Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink

"I think that Spain tried to start this match calmly and then they were surprised when they conceded two goals. That situation brought the match to a higher tempo, thanks to our play in the first half, and we had still two quite good chances. In the second half they made some changes and they brought in a few experienced players in order to reduce our lead and in fact players at the same level as (Andres) Iniesta."

Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink

"We shouldn't make so fast some generalisations after this match, in terms of our defences we have shown last season, even in lower level games, that we can make stupid mistakes and that also happened tonight. There were very good moments of our play when we scored two nice goals but I am not blind and I can see that we can also shoot ourselves in the foot and were too slow to react at least two or three times."
