Netherlands Star Admits Inter Milan 'Needed To Start Better' In Flat FIFA Club World Cup Crashout Vs Fluminense Stefan de Vrij admits that Inter Milan 'needed to start better' in their 0-2 FIFA Club World Cup loss against Fluminense. The Dutchman spoke to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset after the match, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan's season has now come to an end. They lost 0-2 against Brazilian side Fluminense in the round of sixteen of the Club World Cup. This means that the Nerazzurri will not end the campaign with any silverware. Inter Milan had their ups and downs in the group stage of the Club World Cup. However, the knockouts simply proved to be a bridge too far for Cristian Chivu's team. Fluminense went ahead within a couple minutes. Inter looked shellshocked, whether it was the result of the long season, the heat, or simply being overrun by an organized and determined Fluminense team. Inter Milan huffed and puffed for the rest of the ninety minutes. They did carve out some good chances, even hitting the post twice. Advertisement But in the end the second goal of the match came from the Brazilian team, in stoppage time to seal the upset victory.

(Photo by) Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij spoke after today's match. 'We should have started it off better,' he admitted. 'They were more confident in duels at the start.' 'They closed down the spaces well,' the Dutchman noted. 'It was difficult for us without raising the tempo.' De Vrij then noted that 'in the second half we did better, and created some chances.' 'But the ball didn't go in.' 'We should have done more,' the 33-year-old former Lazio and Feyenoord defender admitted. Advertisement 'It was a way to get to know each other with the players and the coaching staff there,' he added. 'We were together for three weeks.' De Vrij admitted that 'for now there's a lot of disappointment.' 'But we have to put this loss behind us. And when we return, we'll have to want to do better, learn and grow together.'

Two Swindon golfers will be hoping to secure qualification for the prestigious The Open Championship as the final qualifying spots get decided. On July 1, Matt Hibbs, from West Swindon, and Jake Bolton, who plays at Ogborne Down, will have the opportunity to seal their spots at the oldest golf tournament in the world, The Open Championship. Advertisement Hibbs, whose home club is The Manor House at Castle Combe, will take part in the qualifying event at Burnham and Berrow in Somerset. The 26-year-old comes into the event on a good run of form from his normal play in tier one of the Clutch Pro Tour, having had a string of top ten finishes during 2025, including coming tied second at The Caddy Comps Open. Bolton will also be at Burnham and Berrow on Tuesday, which is one of four events taking place for players to book their place at Royal Portrush. Both players would be making their first Open Championship if they are able to edge out some big names in the golf world, like former Ryder Cup player Chris Wood, Brandon Robinson-Thompson, and Oliver Wilson. This year will see the 153rd edition of The Open Championship, which has been running since 1860, and is one of the bucket list events for all golfers.

We've said that, in our view, his journey at Parma has just started and should continue. As of today, neither Leoni nor his entourage has told us otherwise. We're convinced he can stay at Parma. At least, it would be the best thing for Parma and the player. The transfer window opens tomorrow, and anything can happen.'
