Netherlands boss Dick Advocaat: No problem with Ruud Gullit over video

Netherlands boss Dick Advocaat insisted there was no problem between himself and Ruud Gullit after his assistant coach posted an ill-advised video clip on social media.

Gullit uploaded a video to his Twitter account showing the players celebrating, getting changed and checking their phones in the dressing room following Sunday evening's 3-1 World Cup qualifying win over Bulgaria.

Thursday's 4-0 thrashing in France left Netherlands with a big task on their hands to reach next year's showpiece event in Russia, and Sweden's 4-0 triumph over Belarus on Sunday further hindered their cause.

Advocaat told www.onsoranje.nl: "I did not think Ruud's actions were helpful. I told him that. There is no problem between Ruud and me. We leave it behind us.''

Gullit said: "I made the clip in my enthusiasm. Afterwards I realised I should not have done that. And with that we draw a line under this.''

The Royal Dutch Football Association executive board was said to have "taken note of the situation.''

Netherlands sit third in Group A -- four points behind leaders France and three behind Sweden -- with two games to play.
