The goalkeeper of Volendam is in such a way that he extended his expiring contract by three years to 2028, despite the interest of Ajax, among others. “Of course I play a lot, so that is very important to me. With a view to next season I am also assured that I will play a lot. For me, the picture was complete and I decided to stay.”
At a later age, Van Oevelen only started keeping, yet he does not feel the tendency to still act as a field player. “If things go bad, prefer to be in the rush to make the goals,” he laughs. “We have enough players who can fill it in well. Afterwards it is of course always easy to say that I can do it better myself.”
Again there is a distant away match on the program for FC Volendam. The club will play against VVV-Venlo on Saturday afternoon at 4.30 p.m.
