The Dutch team had to travel by train from Wolfsburg to Dortmund on Tuesday, where they will face the Three Lions in the semi-finals on Wednesday. However, blocked train tracks halted their journey and the team was forced to change their plans.
It was decided to fly, and they were escorted to the airport by the police.
The Dutch did not reach the city of Dortmund until late on Tuesday evening, and the press conference had to be canceled as a result.
Speaking to NOS, Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman revealed that the train journey was disrupted by… birds on the tracks. However, the strategist insisted that the disruption would not cause any problems.
“It’s strange, but no problem. We were sitting on the bus in front of the hotel, we hadn’t left yet. The players could rest in the hotel for two and a half hours. They would have done the same on the train. In the end, the trip was shorter than by train,” said the strategist.
The Netherlands will play the semi-final match against England on Wednesday at 22:00. Lithuanian time, and you can follow the match live on the lrytas.lt portal.
