Overtoom was one of those players who squandered a great opportunity. The midfielder stole the ball from a Helmond Sport defender ten minutes before the end and could only approach the keeper. “I had a discussion with the trainer about whether I should have shot it in one go. Now I took it with me and fell short of the goalkeeper. I wanted to mark it, but it was just too short,” said Overtoom.
“We would have a bigger problem if we didn’t get any opportunities at all”
Overtoom does not panic because of the inaccuracy in front of the goal. “Today it was really bad. You forget to reward yourself. But we continued well. You really just have to win these kinds of matches. We also have the team for that. But we would have a bigger problem if we didn’t win at all. would have opportunities.”
