Wesley Sniejder: "Netherlands need six points"

Netherlands international Wesley Sneijder calls on his country to put six points on the board in their upcoming Euro 2016 qualification games.

Netherlands international Wesley Sneijder has called on his team to show their heart as they attempt to overcome what has been a disastrous qualification campaign for Euro 2016.

The Dutch can no longer qualify automatically from Group A after winning just three of their eight group games, while they currently sit two points behind third-place Turkey.

Sneijder has said that 'only six points will do' from their upcoming games against Kazakhstan and the Czech Republic if they are to secure a position in the playoffs.

"We need to get six points, it's as simple as that. We've said a couple of times now that there are two finals on the programme, but now it really has come to that. These are the last two matches. We just have to win and wait for Turkey's results," he told NOS.

Netherlands are currently nine points off group leaders Iceland.
