After the Limburgers had started the match well, the team from Velsen-Zuid was slowly able to take over the initiative: “We can play good football in phases, but it is not enough,” analyzes Oude Kotte, who has difficulty hiding his despondency: ” We sometimes don’t understand how it can slip away like that,” the defender is disappointed.
“Whether we as staff could have done more? I don’t think so”
After the Limburg defeat, Telstar coach Mike Snoei also focused on some momentum: “We are not able to continuously apply pressure, so you have to look at when you choose the moment. We have not done enough of that,” says the coach. , who also points to the many injuries: “If FC Barcelona miss Frenkie the youngster, they will have a hard time, that’s how we have it with boys,” said the losing coach.
