Intro:

Struggling Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink looks ahead to the friendly international against Spain and denies that his side are low on confidence following their disappointing 1-1 draw with Turkey in Euro 2016 qualification

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Dutch) Guus Hiddink, Netherlands coach:

"We are really pleased to be able to play friendly matches against some of the best teams in Europe. Especially in the time of Euro 2016 qualifications for this match (against Spain), it could benefit our players who do not have international experience. We have to see this upcoming match separately from our games in qualification. The result of this match is not important."

SOUNDBITE (Dutch) Guus Hiddink, Netherlands coach: (on whether the Dutch team have a confidence problem)

"I don't think so. You know, one can make a wrong decision or have a bad pass but that's nothing to do with self-confidence. We didn't play as a scared team last Saturday. We have to stand our ground and regroup after every mistake."
