Ecuador take on the Netherlands in a friendly this Tuesday (31), at 3:45 p.m. (Brasília time), at PSV Stadion in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Gonzalo Plata, a forward for Flamengo, is expected to start for the Ecuador national team.
Despite recent reports of indiscipline at Flamengo, Plata still enjoys the confidence of coach Sebastián Beccacece. The forward started in the 1-1 draw against Morocco, provided an assist, and is expected to once again form the attacking duo with Enner Valencia. In addition, youngster Kendry Páez appears as an option to strengthen the midfield and earn minutes among Ecuador’s starters.
The match will be broadcast on Disney+ via streaming. In addition, Coluna do Fla will follow the match in real time on social media, keeping fans informed about every detail of the game involving the red-and-black forward.
The Dutch national team comes in motivated after beating Norway 2-1, with goals from Van Dijk and Tijjani Reijnders. Already qualified for the World Cup, the team is using friendlies to test combinations and solidify strategies, fine-tuning the core of the squad ahead of the tournament.
Thus, coach Ronald Koeman is expected to field the following lineup: Verbruggen; Dumfries, Van Hecke, Van Dijk and Van de Ven; Keees Smit, Gravenberch and Reijnders (Xavi Simons); Koopmeiners, Cody Gakpo and Brian Brobbey.
