“Once in a while you see an exceptional goal. You come to the stadium for that. You know that this can happen with Mexx,” said the Belgian coach full of praise for the assumption and lob of his attacker.
Meerdink had come in the field as a substitute for Troy Parrott, the Irishman who scored the first two goals for AZ. For the time being, Martens opts for Parrott as the first striker.
What is the perspective for Mexx Meerdink?
“But we certainly appreciate Mexx. He is very important when he gets into the field, but can also show it from the start. He showed that at the end of the previous season. When Troy was tired, he was there,” said Martens. “These are two great strikers, but we have to make a choice. That is not easy and we will definitely need it.”
