Heitinga: Holland have better team spirit

John Heitinga said the reason England were dumped out of the World Cup is because of a lack of togetherness, something he feels Holland have in spades.

“If you want to win a big title like the World Cup the most important thing is to be a team, to work for the team and to fight for each other,” said the Everton defender.

“It doesn’t matter if someone makes a mistake, you have to cover his back and fight for each other.

“You have to put your ego away and play for the good of the team.

“That is what we have done with the Netherlands. You can see we are all together and united.”
