Xavi Simons has scored again for the Dutch national team and expressed his relief after his difficult start. "Everything comes with time, I wasn't worried," said the RB Leipzig attacker. The 21-year-old scored the final goal in the 5:2 defeat against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Nations League. It was his second goal in his 20th game for Oranje after scoring in the 2-1 draw against England in the European Championship semi-final.
Now happy at Oranje
Simons has been the key player at his club RB Leipzig for more than a year. Things did not go well with the national team for a long time, and the unaccustomed criticism caused Simons a difficult time after 19 games without a goal. "I had to swallow hard for a while. But that's part of the whole thing. Now I feel a good dynamic at Oranje and I'm very happy," said the playmaker.
