Just one week after another error gave Germany the lead, MATTHIJS DE LIGT made it three in a row.
De Ligt had a nightmare on Saturday as Holland defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 5-2 in the Nations League, with him being at fault for both goals.
The new Manchester United player gave an X-rаted evaluation on his awful performance, saying, “It’s f***ed up.”
But when the Dutch played Germany in Amsterdam three days later, his problems reappeared.
Tijjani Reijnders’ early goal had put his team up when De Ligt received the ball just beyond his own penalty area seven minutes before halftime.
But for whatever reason, the careless former Bayern Munich defender missed his pass into midfield, allowing it to be intercepted.
Germany struck quickly, deflecting a shot on goal in two passes.
Bart Verbruggen made the first stop, but Denis Undav was left with an easy opportunity to level the score with a powerful shot.
After yet another egregious error, the TV cameras cut to a distraught De Ligt, who was shaking his head and placing his hands on his hips.
Virgil van Dijk, the captain and star of Liverpool, was visibly upset at his teammate, repeatedly pounding his palm into the ground before appearing to let out his frustration.
And others observing the scene did not waste any time in criticising the faltering celebrity.
Though some hopeful United supporters fervently hoped De Ligt was just clearing his record before hitting his best form again at Old Trafford.
