Dumfries talks about a crushing defeat in Paris: one of the troughs of football career, full of hope before the game but collectively abnormal

June 8th, the Netherlands beat Finland 2-0 away in the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers. After the game, Dutch defender Dumfries recalled the UEFA Champions League final in an interview and was still unsatisfied.

■About this game

Dumfries said: "This game feels good. We have to continue to work hard and strive to stay focused in every game to reach a higher level. I am in good shape and must continue to maintain it. I am indeed fine physically, but sometimes I need to cheer myself up mentally. But for the Dutch national team, this is not needed, and it is natural to integrate into the team."

■About 5 goals against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final

"That was one of the troughs of my football career. Before the game you were full of hope, and then the team was collectively abnormal. Paris as a team is completely worthy of victory, pay tribute to them. We did not play the game like before."

■About cooperation with Flynnpon

"Flynnpon is an amazing player, with strong personal abilities and super fast in one-on-one. We communicate a lot today, we are all professional players, you should expect us to do this."
