Plenty of cup football today and tomorrow. All four North Holland teams will play in the second round of the KNVB Cup Tournament. NH Sport will make an extra radio broadcast both today and tomorrow from 6.30 pm. Tonight you can follow FC Twente – Telstar live in NH Sport.
For the Telstar players, the away match against Twente is one to lick your fingers at. The team of trainer Ron Jans competes with Feyenoord, Ajax, PSV and AZ for the top places. It can also be quite haunted in the Grolsch Veste. The twenty thousand season ticket holders have free access to the game tonight. The people of Velsen can count on the support of about 230 of their own supporters.
Of course Telstar is the underdog, but trainer Mike Snoei has convinced his players that the White Lions are anything but without a chance. “We should not make it a school trip and sell our skin dearly.”
Good news is that Tom Overtoom will play again and Jay Kruiver will also join the selection. There is still a question mark behind David Min’s name, while Koen Blommestijn is not available.
The kick-off in Enschede is at 6.45 pm. Edward Dekker and Stephan Brandhorst provide the race commentary. Presentation of NH Sport: Robbert van den Heuvel.
On Wednesday you can listen to Excelsior – AZ, sc Heerenveen – FC Volendam and FC Den Bosch – Ajax from 6.30 pm.
