The joy was enormous not only with the players, but also with the supporters of Volendam. Robert Mühren, too, was delirious with joy and saw “a dream come true.” The 32-year-old striker returned to ‘his’ FC Volendam in the summer and had a large share in the promotion with 28 goals.
“Believe me, this is really a dream to experience this with my own ‘village’. I don’t think that many people can say that,” Mühren said in front of the camera after the 2-1 victory ESPN†
Mühren was accurate 38 times for SC Cambuur last year, but despite the championship he decided to return to Volendam, where he started his career. The switch caused quite a bit of surprise. “I discussed it a lot with my wife at the time. ‘Should we do it? I can only go off’, I would ask her. But I thought, ‘fuck it, I’m just going to score those goals. But then you still have to do it.”
