Trainer Leeroy Echteld was also very pleased with the veteran’s return. “I also saw Jordy really shine on the field. I really hope that he can play again on Thursday (in the European match against Shakhtar Donetsk, editors),” said Echteld.
Important matches
A tough program awaits the people of Alkmaar in the coming weeks. So a diptych awaits with Shakhtar Donetsk, a league match against direct competitor Heerenveen and, as icing on the cake, the cup final against NEC. “It is very important that we have Clasie back towards the end of the competition. His experience and footballing ability make him very important to us,” says the trainer.
