France, on the other hand, have faced a barrage of criticism back home following their lacklustre performance in the goalless draw with Romania, and will be desperate to kickstart their Euro 2008 campaign with a win in their second outing.
Van Basten admits the goalposts have moved after the opening round of fixtures. "We have already beaten Italy, so our position is different now," said the former AC Milan striker. "If one team has to attack tomorrow (Friday), it is France and not Holland. "We have in our mentality a desire to go forward, but maybe we can take the middle ground. "But we know that France are serious opponents. They have a lot of experience and it will be a tough game."
Some of the pressure may be off Holland in terms of qualifying for the knock-out phase, but they have now been thrust among the tournament favourites following their superb win over the Italians.
Van Basten has urged his players to maintain their focus and not get carried away by the perfect start. "We have played a good game against Italy, but it was only one game," he added. "We can't play the whole tournament on the back of just one game. We have to keep our feet on the ground, and start all over again.
"It will be different for us now after this. Everyone can see Holland are playing well so all the games are going to be difficult because our situation is different."
