So Medik is eagerly looking forward to the second final match of Telstar against Willem II, but that also applies to Telstar icon Fred Bischot. “The tension is good, you know. I have a lot of faith in it. That is mainly because of the second half of Thursday, Telstar was closer to the 3-1 than the 2-2.”

Bischot is one of the few to go every home game to Telstar from the selection 1977/78. “Frans van Essen is also one of them. We had a lot of amateurs during that period, so it’s hard to compare now. There was no second division and the step seemed much bigger.”

Afraid of Correia departure

That a number of players from this success team from Telstar will leave, Bischot has already resigned itself. He is mainly concerned about the possible departure from Anthony Correia. “Who should do it then?

“I often watch training and see a lot of relaxation with those guys,” Bischot continues. “Anthony has turned it into a close team of friends, which is difficult to beat. It seems like they have everything done.”
