BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Netherlands coach Frank de Boer said his team are capable of success at the European Championship but would need matters to go perfectly for them over the next fortnight to take the trophy.

A place in the semi-final would represent a successful tournament, he added ahead of the last 16 clash against the Czech Republic in Budapest on Sunday.

"There are many teams who believe the same thing and who have a lot of quality. You don't just become a champion, there is a lot it takes to get there, but we have the qualities to do it. But to achieve this everything has to be right." "I find the route the most favourable from our side of the draw, because you have five days rest after the last 16 before going onto Baku for the quarter-finals and again five days rest before the semis.

The winners of Sunday's match meet either Denmark or Wales, who were competing in the first last 16 match on Saturday."They play as a unit, they know what they want. They like to disturb the opponent early, piling on the pressure. If there is space available, they are capable of playing the ball on the ground but if not they can also go deep and fight for the second ball," he said.
