It is quiet along the water during the competition. Logical too, because most Volendam supporters are in the stadium. But among the cafe -goers who follow the competition on one of the many screens, the disappointment is no less, if Excelsior already scores twice for the break and the game in the second half is completely in the end.
Emotions are running high
The atmosphere is not much better around the stadium. Most Volendammers let it slip off, but a few flee from emotion out of the stadium before the final signal. “You are a supporter in hard in kidneys, and if you play so hopeless, then you have to protect yourself. Otherwise the emotions will get a free hand.”
“We still grab him”
Even though Excelsior is the current number two of the competition, the defeat can be called a blamage alone. But with the shame on the jaws, the Volendammers are also looking forward to next week. “The 28th, then we will take him. Just a pity that we will play out, and also on Monday. I report sick or something.”
