Wout Weghorst: I knew I would score the winner

Wout Weghorst, who came on as a substitute and scored the winning goal in the Netherlands, who defeated Poland 2-1 in the first week match of the 2024 European Football Championship Group D, made a statement after the match. Weghorst said he texted his girlfriend before the game that he would enter the game and score the winning goal.

“A DREAM SCENARIO”

Stating that it was a dream scenario, Weghorst said, “My feelings are indescribable. Especially scoring a goal in such a tournament… It is very special! I was ready for this just last week. I was clearly told what my role is. You have to make sure that you are there at the maximum level for your team. Personally, I am there.” “This is a dream scenario for us,” he said.

“I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN”

Describing the moment of the goal, Weghorst said, “Then that ball comes… You see it coming, you feel that moment. Sometimes you feel it, you are in a flow. You cannot describe it. It is easy to talk about it afterwards, but… I knew this would happen, I can show you the messages. This morning the girl “About 20 minutes before the final whistle, the score was 0-0 or 1-1, and then…” I sent a message to my friend. It’s a little late, but you feel it, you visualize it, it’s great for all of us, it’s great to be able to do this.” .

“OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE HISTORY”

Saying that they are ready to make history, the experienced striker said, “You also visualize the end. There is only one goal. That is to stand there with the cup. This is not just for me, but for everyone. You talk about it too. That’s why the beginning is so important, then move towards it.” “The absolute goal is to make history, we are ready for that, let’s hope there will be many more great matches,” he said.
