According to Driessen, Oranje remains as labile under Xavi as it was under Ronald Koeman. The team has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of its 12 international matches this calendar year, which Driessen sees as a disappointment for the team's top defenders, including Virgil van Dijk, Denzel Dumfries, Bart Verbruggen, and Micky van de Ven. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Driessen believes Xavi should consider a "keiharde ingreep" (hard intervention) to address the team's defensive vulnerabilities. Driessen points out that Xavi has found stability in the team's defense, but this is paradoxical given the team's continued susceptibility to goals.
