Dumfries: we are a strong team; it is not time to say goodbye to Inter

According to FCInterNews.it, Dumfries was interviewed after the Netherlands' 5-1 victory over Sweden.

Dumfries is hitting his stride ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His debut against Japan was average, but in the Netherlands' 5-1 win over Sweden, the Inter wing-back provided two crucial assists. Dumfries said in an interview: "I really enjoyed playing. We had a great match. I am very proud of the team, and I am happy."

When asked whether the Netherlands could win the FIFA World Cup, Dumfries said: "Yes, we have a strong team, but we have to prove it in every match. We have a lot of faith in the team's strength, but there are many national teams that are just as strong. We will take it one game at a time."

When asked about Italy's absence from this FIFA World Cup, Dumfries said: "Yes, of course. Many friends are at home now, which is tough. I really like Italy."

When asked whether he had already said goodbye to the Inter fans, Dumfries replied: "Me? No. It's not the time yet."

When asked whether any teammates had messaged him, Dumfries said: "Of course. Not to congratulate me, but just to chat about anything. We are friends, and we talk a lot. For example, yesterday I spoke to Calhanoglu. It's a shame... Turkey didn't win. I'm sad." Dumfries was referring to Turkey's loss to Paraguay, which led to Montella's team being eliminated. "We always stay in touch."
