System change gives Van Mieghem a frustrating period at FC Volendam

“You hope that you can fill in and contribute something”, says Daryl van Mieghem after the hopeless 3-0 defeat against FC Twente. “That was not the case now, because when I came in, I tried to limit the damage.”

Trainer Wim Jonk saw that his team started quite well in Enschede. Only his team defended very poorly for a short period, so that there was little to gain early in the game. “Although that also has to do with the strength of FC Twente, this is not SV Marken 2.”

Where the team from Volendam played a creditable draw against top teams such as Ajax and AZ, that was not the case now. “The difference is that you lasted longer then,” Jonk analyzes in the catacombs of the Grolsch Veste.

“Frustrating”

Nevertheless, FC Volendam is doing very well in 2023. Jonk’s men have already taken eleven points since the winter break. This is partly due to a change of system. The eel farmers built in a little more security. An extra defender and an attacker off. This was mainly at the expense of Daryl van Mieghem. The winger from Amstelveen has not been in the base since then. “We can be short or long about that, but this is very frustrating.”

Fifteen minutes before time for Van Mieghem in the team. There was not much more than defending for the 33-year-old attacker. FC Twente completely ruled in-house. Hopefully next Saturday better luck for FC Volendam and Van Mieghem. “I think I can be of value to this team.” In Volendam, Vitesse is the opponent.
