FIFA WC: 'Netherlands Have Lost Their Identity,' Says Zlatan After Morocco Defeat
FIFA World Cup: Former Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has criticised Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman and said that the Dutch team lost their identity in their penalty shootout defeat against Morocco in the FIFA World Cup 2026 clash at the Monterrey Stadium on Tuesday.
After 120 minutes of intense tactical battle ended 1-1, the Atlas Lions held their nerve from the spot to win 3-2 on penalties and continue their remarkable World Cup journey.
It's the Dutch that made the breakthrough when Cody Gakpo broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute. After the goal, Manager Koeman surprisingly abandoned his usual blueprint to deploy an ultra-conservative five-man defensive approach, which has come under fire by Ibrahimovic, who feels that Koeman's decision did not go par with the Dutch identity of attack.
