Speaking to NOS after the clear victory of his Netherlands against Montenegro, Juventus and selection defender Oranje Matthijs De Ligt focuses on friendship and rivalry with Stefan De Vrij:

"Competition is a positive thing, it's up to Van Gaal decides who plays. Stefan is in shape, he is doing well at Inter too. Whoever stays out must support the other: I will always do it, and I think he too. We have a common goal, which is the World Cup: rivalries personal do not help.

It is important that you help your partner, even if we start from the bench. We have a common goal and that is to reach the World Cup. We have to think only of this: personal rivalries do not help ", he concluded.
