A very unpleasant evening for FC Volendam against Go Ahead Eagles. The Palingboeren lost 4-1 in Deventer. At one point Derry John Murkin could no longer hide his frustrations. “Shut up for once”, the defender shouted to his own bench. “It was a stupid response.”
“I sometimes play with a short fuse,” Murkin puts his hand in his own bosom. The left back got into a fight with FC Volendam’s goalkeeper coach. “And if things go wrong, I can react stupidly. We have now spoken to each other and it is now done.”
Reinforcements
The heavy defeat hits hard. Now FC Volendam is at zero points after two matches and everyone realizes very well that things cannot go on like this. Matthias Kohler knows that too. The optimistic coach supports his club’s technical policy and is not worried about bringing in reinforcements. “We are not looking for excuses, we have a good group and the transfer window is still running.”

Quality injection
Where Kohler is patient, Murkin clearly indicates that it is difficult in the premier league with this selection. The left back believes that the current selection is too narrow and that there is a need for a quality injection. “That would be nice.” Compared to last season, FC Volendam has lost strong players such as Filip Stankovic, Francesco Antonucci, Henk Veerman, Geatano Oristanio. Furthermore, Carel Eiting is in conflict with the club and a return of the captain seems very far away. “The way things are going, it’s difficult.”
