Goal thief Martijn Kaars from Monnickendam wants to remain top scorer in the 1st division: “That is the goal”

With ten goals, Martijn Kaars is proudly at the top of the top scorers list in the first division. The Monnickendammer employed by Helmond Sport is having his strongest season ever and we caught him after he scored the only goal against Telstar last night. “The opportunities I get now usually go in.”

“I now play around the striker and that’s going well for me,” is Martijn Kaars’ explanation as to why he is now scoring so much. “Plus we are creating more now than last season, then it is also easier to score.”

Kaars is in his second year at Helmond Sport. Last season, the 24-year-old resident from Monnickendam already finished with fourteen goals. His highest goal total of his career and it looks like he will easily beat that. When it comes to the overall top scorer title in the first division, he is quite clear. “That’s a goal.”

In addition to being a footballer, Kaars is also a trainer at VV Monnickendam. This means that he drives from North Brabant to North Holland several times a week. “Can be easily combined.” This weekend VV Monnickendam will play the home game against Zwaluwen ’30 from Hoorn with Kaars coaching in the dug-out.
