The signs for the return in the Galgenwaard are positive, because the team of coach Ron Jans is in good shape, also proved the kick-off of the Eredivisie season. Heracles Almelo was sent home with a 4-0 defeat.

That FC Utrecht is in shape early cannot be seen separately from European obligations this summer, is the firm conviction of Jans. ,, I told the team: don’t think about the tiredness, but think yourself stronger. We have already had real matches in ninety minutes. That makes us stronger than the opponent. “

Jans very satisfied with Min

After the fourth victory in an official game of this season, the experienced trainer lifted the performance of his striker David Min. The boom-long attacker is off the zero this season by signing Heracles for the 2-0. Although Min is not a striker scoring on the assembly line, he is very important for his team, Jans emphasized. ,, He is so ball -resistant and is everywhere. If you want to put pressure, it is important with lines, dueling. And he is so fast with those feet and mobile, he hardly plays a ball wrong. I am very satisfied with him. He’s doing great. ”

Jans is not surprised that Minus after a difficult start -up period, a higher level is now tapping. ,, There are always players who need a little longer to get in. And trust also does a lot with a player. You see that he has that now. “

Loud applause

With 6 goals in 34 games for FC Utrecht, Min has no impressive Moyenne and the audience has sometimes critically treated him after missed opportunities, but against Heracles he went to the side after an hour under loud applause while his name was sung. The boom -long attacker from Wormerveer did that well. ,, I am comfortable with it. I feel the trust of the trainer and I have a lot of confidence. I have to hold that. “

Minus is aware that the return against Servette on Thursday is a very important match. With a victory, draw or defeat with one goal difference, FC Utrecht qualifies for the first time since the 2010/2011 season for a European group phase. The club then stays in the race for the group stage of the Europa League and is assured of the group phase Conference League in the play-off against Breidablik or Zrjinski Mostar. ,, If we win on Thursday, we will make a very nice blow. We could even lose a difference with one goal, but that is not our approach. We want to keep winning, because we’re in the right place this season. “
