Denzel Dumfries says Netherlands 'have enough quality' to win World Cup

Denzel Dumfries said the Netherlands have enough quality to win the World Cup after their 5-1 victory over Sweden. He declined to answer speculation about a move to Real Madrid, saying: "Questions about Real Madrid, I will not answer them," and added, "But whether we have enough quality to become world champions, I am also very clear about that: yes, that is the case." Reflecting on the win, Dumfries said the result transformed the camp's atmosphere following a 2-2 draw with Japan and has brought momentum into training ahead of upcoming fixtures.

"The confidence is growing," he said. "Then good energy comes into the team, and you can see that on the training field as well. I think the 5-1 win is very valuable in every single aspect." He rejected the idea his optimism was mere hype and pointed to the experience in the squad.

"At previous European Championships and World Cups, we performed adequately in my opinion," Dumfries said. "But this group is truly capable of achieving something special.
