Due to the victory, Telstar continues to keep a view of the Top-Eacht, which entitles the play-offs at the end of the season. “It is especially important for us to stay with it,” says Correia. “It will be very exciting around those places.” The difference between Roda JC (current number eight) and FC Eindhoven (number twelve) is only seven points.

“He has all the conditions for becoming a good Telstar player,” says the trainer about Nigel Odigi Nwankwo, who will connect from next summer. “Of course I played with Katwijk against him with Katwijk, so I know what he has in his march. It will take five or six months before he comes to us. Let’s first focus on the competition.”

The next match of Telstar is next Friday (Valentine’s Day). FC Den Bosch is the opponent in De Vliert from 8 p.m. You can of course follow that game live on NH Radio and in our live blog.
