After the Netherlands defeated Malta 4-0, Gakpo, who had 2 shots and 1 pass, accepted a post-match interview.
He said: "I think overall, we performed well on such a bad venue,"
"The reason why I was able to take the penalty kick was because Memphis (Depay) was not on the court. It was not clear who would take the penalty at the time. It was decided between me and Verhorst,"
"I never took the penalty kick in Liverpool. I was allowed to take penalty kicks. But in fact, I have always taken penalty kicks and only missed once in PSV's game against Copenhagen."
"If we can beat Finland on Sunday, we will be in a really good situation. We have a lot of new players and it will take some time to adapt to each other."
