It’s a fair in Volendam, but certainly not a party at the premier league club from the village. The FC has started the new football season poorly with three defeats. Former players Bert van der Poppe and Jack Tuijp are pessimistic about the rest of the season in football talk show De Aftrap. “The club has taken off too much of a coat,” said former top scorer Jack Tuijp.
The loss of half a team of experienced basic staff weighs heavily. “Incomprehensible,” says Bert van der Poppe about one of the last transfers that Volendam made. Club top scorer Daryl van Mieghem was allowed to leave for ADO Den Haag by the club management. Striking, because ADO plays a level lower than Volendam. Volendam brought in some young players to replace them.
Volendam is free this weekend due to the international programme. The away match against Fortuna Sittard is scheduled for next Saturday.
In addition to Volendam, the former football players in De Aftrap also measure Ajax and AZ. It is also noisy in Amsterdam, but Tuijp thinks it is too early to judge the load of transfers that technical boss Sven Mislintat made. “It’s a completely new team, it takes time.” According to Van der Poppe, his actions show that the Ajax youth academy has been surpassed by AZ in recent years. “The only good one coming now is Silvano Vos. He is from the outside category. Not much else gets through.”
