Does the dismissal of trainer Mike Snoei at Telstar make a difference? Tonight, the Velsen residents led by Uli Landvreugd and Anthony Correia will play in their own stadium against Helmond Sport. If there is mention of a shock effect you can follow live from 7 p.m. on the NH Sport radio broadcast.
“You notice that something has happened in the group,” said midfielder Tom Overtoom yesterday at the last training. “The trainer has been fired and everyone feels a little bit responsible.” Landvreugd said that he especially wants to regain the courage and bravado of his players, who have now failed to win nine games in a row.

Telstar is in last place in the first division and will meet number fourteen in the rankings with Helmond Sport. Earlier this season, Telstar lost 1-0 to the Brabanders. Of course Martijn Kaars scored. The Monnickendammer is the top scorer in the first division with seventeen goals and is responsible for half of all the goals scored by Helmond Sport in the competition this season.
Apau suspended
Telstar is still missing Zakaria Eddahchouri, who has injured his knee. A pillar of support is also missing at the back: captain Mitch Apau received his fifth yellow card last week and has been suspended for one match.
The kick-off of Telstar – Helmond Sport is tonight at 8 p.m. The commentary for the match will be provided by Erik-Jan Brinkman and Frank van der Meijden. NH Sport starts at 7 p.m. Presentation: Robbert van den Heuvel.
