The only thing that gives away that a historic cup match is planned are the enormous TV buses that drive onto the site. Shortly afterwards, the former material man Mink follows behind in his gray car. Although he has not worked for the club for years, he still plays sports in the area and remains a supporter through and through.
‘Giant! You live in a movie, a fairy tale’
“You don’t want to miss this. I’m back in my regular seat,” he says in front of the NH camera. “Now I’m going to prepare. Just throw those weights and then I’ll be ready in no time.”
For supporters like Verbaan, who have followed the club for years, this season is magical, regardless of win or loss. “Giant! You are living in a movie, a fairy tale. No one expected this, but suddenly everything falls apart. Then you have to persevere tonight and who knows what could happen.”
