Arjen Robben: 'Netherlands must not be complacent against Mexico'

Robben: 'We can't be complacent'

Arjen Robben has warned his teammates that the Netherlands will have to be at their best to beat Mexico in the last 16 of the World Cup.

Ahead of the meeting between the two sides in Fortaleza on Sunday, Robben has suggested that the smallest of errors against Miguel Herrera's men could be enough to put the Dutch squad on the plane earlier than intended.

"A slightly worse day, a small mistake, a poor decision from the referee can suddenly mean that you are on your way home, without being able to do anything about it," the Bayern Munich winger told reporters.

"You have to try and neutralise the element of chance as best you can, and remain extremely focused."

Louis van Gaal's side reached the last 16 thanks to three victories in Group B.
