The end of the transfer market traditionally causes a lot of stress. FC Volendam can discuss this. The club from the fishing village successfully signed Dave Kwakman (AZ) and Bilal Ould-Chikh (Raja Casablanca) this period. Today, signing Benjamin Pauwels put on the orange shirt for the first time. That happened in front of our camera. You can see the hustle and bustle just before this window closes in a new NH Sport.
“The alarm went off at four o’clock this morning,” says Benjamin Pauwels. FC Volendam rents the Belgian attacker from the Spanish Leganés. Technical director Patrick Busby was waiting for his newest signing at Schiphol.
Busby took him to the club by car and there a number of obligations awaited Pauwels: “Taking photos, medical examination and meeting the players and the trainer.”
Debut in Nijmegen
So there is a lot to consider on such a first day for a new player. Tomorrow Pauwels will be on the training field and he can make his debut in the cup match with NEC on Wednesday.
Text continues below the photos.
The supporters let NH Sport know that they are very pleased with the current selection. A big thank you goes to Busby. “He deserves a statue.” The technical director is even known among the supporters as the ‘Bus Boss’.
The acclaimed man can laugh about that. “I get a lot of recognition from the supporters here.” Busby expects to be able to add another player to the selection of coach Rick Kruys on Tuesday. If all the papers are completed in time, midfielder Juninho Bacuna will be hired from the Turkish Gaziantep FK.
In addition to football, two other sports are also included in this broadcast. For example, you will see a report about the handball star VZV and SEW. Both teams faced each other in the final for the national championship last year.
International waves goodbye
We also look up korfball player Ester Cordus. She is one of the strong points at Koog Zaandijk and also a familiar face with the Dutch team. But she quits with the Dutch team after nine years.
The NH Sport broadcast is broadcast every Monday at 5:10 PM and then repeated every half hour. You can also click on the video at the top of this article for today’s entire broadcast.
