FC Volendam coach Simons is combative despite a difficult situation: “I see progress”

Despite the hopeless 0-4 defeat against SC Heerenveen, Regillio Simons still sees sufficient perspective for the coming weeks. The coach of the Volendam team notes that the absence of Bilal Ould-Chickh is particularly detrimental to his team: “I hope he will be back soon.”

Actually had to play the entire match the Eel farmers running after the Frisians. It quickly felt like a hopeless story for captain Damon Mirani: “I don’t know where to find the starting points. But this is worthless,” the captain analyzes.

“I will not join in the panic”

FC Volendam will play its home match against NEC next Friday. Simons hopes that the audience will then get behind the team: “I honestly haven’t seen so many of them leave prematurely. Those are their choices. Apparently we haven’t been able to offer them what they want,” the coach remains down-to-earth. Simons says that the audience can play an important role: “We need them. Hopefully it will be different on Friday,” concludes the Volendam trainer.
