October 10th After the Netherlands defeated Malta 4-0, Dutch forward Verhorst accepted an interview with NOS.

About the goal being whistled

"I just looked back and I think my shot was indeed after the whistle, and the ball was only a few meters away from the goal."

About why there was no penalty kick

"Of course it is a pity that my goal was called off, but in the end there was a penalty kick and the score became 1-0. I really want to take the lead. Penalties were taken, but Gacpo also wanted to take them. "

About replacing Depay

"It was clear very early on that Depay would not be able to play two 90-minute games. Looking at our opponents, this is not surprising."

About the overall performance

"We completed the task and got three points. It's good to go back to Amsterdam on Sunday."
