The sudden scoring urge of FC Twente is the umpteenth proof of the elusiveness of football. In the first four games of this season, when Joseph Oosting fired at the beginning of September on the bench, FC Twente scored only twice. Last week with interim trainer Ivar van Dinteren at the helm, two goals were added. But on the castle, the cap only really went well from the Twente ketchup bottle with five goals. And what kind of goals, they were all beautiful goals.
Flying start: FC Twente gives Sparta Pak beaten with debut trainer John van den Brom
“The expected goals were already very high in those earlier competitions,” Van den Brom saw as a possible solution to the riddle. “But many opportunities were missed or the right choices were not made in the final phase. You saw that it all went well today. And it could even have been 8-1, because we also missed a few good chances.”
Proud of the team
Van den Brom emphasized not to have done crazy things in the three days that he was on the training field with the group in Hengelo. ,, I went on on things that they had been working on at the club for some time. Sometimes you also need a competition like this that it is good. This gives confidence and we take that to the upcoming competitions. I am very proud of the team. It was really fantastic what they put on the mat. “
John van den Brom now has no time to play golf: ‘We have to bring FC Twente back to where it belongs’
The new trainer had been enjoying the couch. ,, If I look at myself then it has been a very busy but a beautiful week. The button was handled from Monday. I said to myself: ‘This is what you really wanted. Then enjoy it again. ” Standing on the field every day was great. We have prepared this competition with the staff very punctually, but of course I did not expect this result. I can now start shouting all kinds of things, but this was not foreseeable. What I did in my first conversation with the players indicate that I believe in the qualities of this group. We have seen this competition that that faith is justified. FC Twente has very good players. ”
Nice starting point
The new trainer indicated that it is a nice starting point to continue building. ,, Such a victory gives a lot of confidence and that is really important for football players to continue this line. I have seen really good things, basically everything you want as a trainer. We had control over the competition, could find free people, could respond to the ball between the lines, put pressure on the right times, created many opportunities and scored great goals. If you make a flap-over, then these are the things that are on it. This is a good competition to use in the coming weeks for the images that we show the team. ”

No guarantee
After the dream debut, Van den Brom did not want to blow too high from the tower about what can be expected from FC Twente this season. ,, This of course creates high expectations, but I prefer to start so than I am grumpy here, because I have not had a success. First, let’s enjoy this moment. If you no longer do that as a player, trainer or supporter why do you still go to football. These are such beautiful moments. It is fantastic to see cheerful people, cheerful fans. That’s what we all do it for. But we also know where we all come from. And this offers no guarantee whatsoever for the upcoming competitions. “
