After the Fishing Tournament, trainer Mike Snoei did not ignore it. Telstar needs more scoring ability and the club is in talks with two attackers. “We are now too dependent on Glynor Plet.”
Telstar finished last in the triptych against top amateur teams VV Katwijk and Koninklijke HFC. The White Lions only scored once in 120 minutes of football. This was partly due to the absence of Glynor Plet. The goal thief is slightly injured and hopes to be there on Monday 8 August when Telstar opens the season against Young Ajax. Plet, now 35, scored thirteen times last season.
Mitch Apau
The defense at Telstar does look solid and stable. With Thomas Oude Kotte and Mitch Apau, Mike Snoei’s team strengthened itself considerably in the last line of the team. For example, Apau won the championship with FC Emmen last season, but this summer opted to stay in Velsen-Zuid. “I return to my roots and can live in Amsterdam again.” The 32-year-old defender was in the center of the defense during the Fishing Tournament.

“World Guy”
After three years of Andries Jonker, assistant coach Anthony Correia is working with Mike Snoei again this season. “Mike is a world guy.” By the way, Correia was in the other dugout during the Fishing Tournament. Because in addition to being an assistant at Telstar, he is also head coach of VV Katwijk. The confrontation between his two clubs ended in 0-0.
