SuggestedLeadIn: The Netherlands prepare for their Euro 2016 qualifier against Iceland.

Script: SOUNDBITE: (Dutch) Danny Blind, Dutch team manager

"Well indeed. We have to score the goal in a certain way because our opponent is organised in a certain way. I mean that we have to score by pushing the game in a high tempo because Iceland are a well organised, disciplined team, playing with heart and they have been that way for long time. Maybe we will score in the late stages of the game, but I would prefer that we score much earlier."

SOUNDBITE: (Dutch) Danny Blind, Dutch team manager

"I think they (Iceland) are a strong opponent because they are well organised and that makes them strong. Already for many years, their players are not playing only in Iceland but in many European teams, not really top teams but good clubs, like Swansea or Basel. They are players that know what they want and how to get that. Look at the results, six games and sixteen points."

SOUNDBITE: (Dutch) Arjen Robben, team captain

"Our focus in the match tomorrow must be on our own performance. We have to move the ball very fast and ensure that the right people get the ball at the right moment. We do have to pay attention to their counter attacks. We saw when we played them in Iceland that they can be dangerous."
