Rio de Janeiro: Should you change a winning formula? Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal is pondering that question ahead of his team's next match against Australia on Wednesday.
Van Gaal's decision to play a system based on five defenders against Spain was a tactical masterstroke as the Dutch humiliated the defending world champion 5-1 in Salvador in their Group B opener.
Preparing for the World Cup, Van Gaal hinted he might revert to the traditional Dutch 4-3-3 system against an Australian team whose defense can be tough to break down. The two sides meet Wednesday in Porto Alegre.
Midfield playmaker Wesley Sneijder told the official Netherlands supporters' site OnsOranje.nl that "I would say 5-3-2 to continue building for the rest of the tournament."
