Door closed for important Telstar quartet: “We just continue”

“We start this preparation with an excellent core on which we can build further,” says a tanned Mike Snoei after the first training session of the season. “Although a number of important strongholds have also disappeared.”

Consequence

The coach of the first divisionist refers to Anass Najah, Anwar Bensabouh, Delvechio Blackson and Özgür Aktas. The quartet was not on the field in Velsen-Zuid and that will not happen again this season. “That is the consequence after a season like last year. There is then interest in players. I think that’s fine, because ambition is healthy. Only we will continue.”

Crush

Then there’s the Glynor Plet case. The 36-year-old goalgetter is not yet sure whether he will continue. “Somehow I still hope for Plet for this season”, Snoei admits about his captain from last season. “But he’s old and wise enough to decide for himself.” Furthermore, the hired attackers David Min (RKC) and Koen Blommestein (FC Volendam) have returned to their employers.

“We are still looking for reinforcements for each line and this week we will present two more additions.” Who exactly they are, Snoei did not yet say. Four test players also showed their skills at the first training. Including goalkeeper Andrej Mastny of Manchester United.

The first practice matches are scheduled for this Saturday. The triptych with VV IJmuiden and Stormvogels takes place in-house. The competition starts on Friday 11 August.
