The player in form at Telstar is Sem van Duijn. The 22-year-old attacker came over on loan from AZ last winter break and has found his niche in Velsen-Zuid. After 13 matches he has 4 goals and he also stands out with his long throw-in. “I think I’ll get to the penalty spot.”
“Since I started playing for Telstar, I have been working on it a lot,” says Sem van Duijn about developing his throw-in. Thanks to his long throws, Telstar has already scored several goals. “I now do certain exercises in the weight room so that I can throw further.”
While the throw-in used to receive little attention in professional football, this is different today. Anthony Correia is also very happy with Van Duijn’s specialty. “We already had Jeff Hardeveld’s long throw-in, but Sem came just a little further.”

In addition to the throw-in, Correia’s assistant coaches deal with standard situations. “We have a staff of creative minds and I always love to hear what great ideas they have.”
Whether it is his throw-in, nose for the goal or work ethic, Telstar is very pleased with Van Duijn. They also follow his activities in Alkmaar. “Leeroy Echteld sends me an app very often,” said the AZ mercenary.

On Saturday evening, Van Duijn will play with Telstar against NEC in Nijmegen. An important pot, because the White Lions are just below the relegation line and points are very welcome. You can follow whether this will work in our live blog. The kick-off in De Goffert is at 9 p.m.
