Xavi accepted responsibility for the Netherlands' first-half setup in their 2-2 draw with Greece. BongdaPlus reported that the Dutch fell two goals behind before making three halftime substitutions and adjusting their approach. Virgil van Dijk reduced the deficit before Tijjani Reijnders equalised late on. Xavi said the changes improved tempo and pressure, while acknowledging that the original plan had not worked as intended.
