Joshua Zirkzee scored the winning goal to give his team victory in the Nations League match against Servia on Sunday night. However, Zirkzee credited Virgil Van Dijk, who has the distinction of playing 100 international matches, for the victory. Zirkzee, who plays for Manchester United, admitted that he did not expect to be selected for the Netherlands national team.

Zirkzee got his chance when Brian Brobbey got injured in the first match and Donil Malan was already out of the team. He played 20 minutes in the first match against Gris and got the opportunity to play a full half against Servia. He scored his second international goal in this match, which is also his first official goal of the entire year.

However, Zirkzee said it was not his night. He said, "It was Virgil's time, to play 100 international matches is amazing. He is our captain and we are all proud of him. To win makes it even more special."

He also said that the team's mentality was good, "We were all happy, supported each other, and now everyone had to go home." It was clear to Djirkazi that his objective was to win and score goals when he replaced Max Meerdink in the second half. “I had to be in position to score,” he said.

He put the final touch on a pass by Tizzani Rejenders. Zirkzee confirmed this, saying, "Even if he went through the goal, Tizzani knew I would give him an extra pass." It was a great end to Zirkzee's return to the Netherlands, where he had been absent since November 2024. He didn't get this opportunity, and he said, "I didn't expect it."

He also talked about his situation, "I am not playing regularly at Manchester United, but it felt good that the coach showed confidence in me. My performances need to improve so that I can earn a regular place in the Netherlands team."

Jirkazi said that the competition is very high and they have to improve their position. "The coach said he needed me, but it's still a surprise. Hopefully I lived up to his expectations by scoring the winning goal," he said.

What will happen next

Jirkazi's performances have boosted his hopes of getting a permanent place in the national team, especially since he scored an important goal. Next time around, the Netherlands will need even stronger performances in their Nations League fixtures. Looking at Zirkzee's form and confidence, he will look to make more of an impact in the upcoming matches.
