Gio: We can only get better

Jun 15 2008 By Mark Guidi

GIOVANNI van Bronckhorst reckons there's more to come from Holland and insists they haven't peaked too soon.

Marco van Basten's men have played some dazzling football at Euro 2008 and thrilling wins over Italy and France have sealed a quarter-final place.

The Dutch are now one of the favourites for the tournament and former Rangers star van Bronckhorst believes his side can get even better.

He said: "In terms of results we couldn't have asked for more.

"The performances have also been good but there are always things we can improve on.

"I'm sure the coach will have us working on a few things before we play Romania on Tuesday. He will want to try a few things with a view to the quarter-final.

"You can see how much our players are enjoying it and we can get even better."

Van Bronckhorst expects a tough tie in Saturday's last-eight clash regardless of the opposition.

But he said: "There might not be many teams keen to play us.

"We are happy at the moment but we are not getting carried away. I hope we can go all the way to the final and win.

"But that is looking too far ahead and when you do that things tend to backfire.

"Things were going well in Euro 2000 and we were knocked out in the semi-finals.

"We know the dangers but the manager won't let us think too far ahead."
