From the AZ snack bar to the squares in the city center: Alkmaarders are getting ready for the European match against Anderlecht tonight. ‘Their’ club plays the second quarter-final match of the Conference League in a sold-out stadium. As a precaution, some police are here and there, but the atmosphere is good and there is hope. “Pavlidis is definitely going to make two.”
On the Waagplein the fanatical supporters have gathered at one of the pubs. That’s why there are some buses from the mobile unit. But it’s going well: the fans of the Belgians have a mandatory ‘bus combi’. Just like the Alkmaar supporters had to Brussels last week.
This means that they have to take the bus from Brussels directly to the stadium and then immediately back. An AZ spokesperson says that they will come with about a thousand people.
AZ fans are also sitting on the Platte Stenenbrug and are in great mood. They also make a prediction before the game. “I think 4-1 is realistic.”
