After the 1-1, FC Volendam lost control of the match and even saw the NEC take the deserved lead. Trainer Rick Kruys then decided to play all or nothing to force the equalizer. “I saw a team that really fought today. We still have a few very good chances with Mühren and Descotte,” said Kruys, who thought a point was deserved.
More grip after substitutions
Rick Kruys turned the game around, partly by introducing Robert Mühren, Ozan Kökcü, Joel Ideho and Xavier Mbuyamba as a battering ram. “We were given more space on the wings and had more pressure on the opponent. After that 2-2, there is no point in collapsing again. Then you bring it on yourself. Now he can fall to us, but perhaps also to them. And unfortunately that happened today.”
Due to the defeat, FC Volendam remains in fifteenth place in the Premier League with fourteen points. Next Saturday in matchday 16, FC Volendam will visit FC Groningen. The kick-off in the Euroborg is at 6.45 pm.
