Netherlands midfielder Wesley Sneijder refuses to blame Dutch boss Bert van Marwijk for their early Euro 2012 exit.

Netherlands midfielder Wesley Sneijder has insisted that Dutch boss Bert van Marwijk is not to blame for their early Euro 2012 exit.

Holland were eliminated from the tournament after suffering three successive defeats, but the Inter Milan midfielder has stood up for his boss.

"We can't blame the coach for this, he did a great job for us in the last four years. But there are some issues in the squad that have to be solved first, like the player who is leaking to the press about our tactical plans before matches," the 28-year-old told reporters.

Van Marwijk has a contract with the Dutch FA until 2016.
