The supercup in futsal is on the program next Friday. In sports hall De Opgang, national champion Hovocubo plays against losing cup finalist FC Eindhoven. Success coach Sander van Dijk saw a number of decisive players leave and thinks the team from Brabant is the favorite.
“We had to take a step back within the selection. We lost Karim Mossaoui, Soufian Charraoui and Yoshua St. Juste. It is not possible for any team to absorb the loss of three star players. That will also be difficult for us. Van Dyke said.
FC Eindhoven strengthens itself
Where Hovocubo saw players drop out, FC Eindhoven could welcome players. According to Van Dijk, that could be the deciding factor. “Last season we defeated FC Eindhoven in the cup final and in the title fight. They will be motivated to the bone to beat us now. In addition, they have kept all their players and even added good players to the selection. she might be the absolute favorite for the final battle.”
Due to the increased competition, Van Dijk wants to look realistically at the coming season. “We have a fit and complete squad. The (new) boys really want to perform well in their official home game and we are hungry for new trophies. Still, you have to be realistic. Last season we won the cup, the title, the supercup and we were in the last sixteen in Europe. It will be difficult to match last year’s performances, but that will be the challenge for us.”
