After a few games of radio silence and a period in which we played games that were not really worth writing home about, we go to Heerenveen today to pick up the threads. Three more games and it is still not clear who will become champion. One candidate drops out every week.
Like the last few weeks, we started the game dramatically and it was Heerenveen that scored twice in one minute. So now we know where we stand again and to be honest I have to say that our heads are not down and that we all put our backs into it and continue to believe in getting a good result. As a result, via a penalty and two goals from Ryan, we managed to put the tables in order and go into halftime with a 2 - 3 lead. Class men. This is what we want to see. Mentality and fighting spirit. The will to win. The coach also indicates this at halftime. After the break it was Heerenveen that pressed hard and after ten minutes they scored the equalizer. But we want more. With twenty minutes to play, Jordy headed the ball in from a nice free kick by Kenneth and put us ahead again. We hold on to the lead and take the points back to Eindhoven. And the race continues. After today's results it appears that Utrecht has dropped out.
After the Easter weekend in düsseldorf, there are still the trip to Rotterdam Sparta and at home against Twente. And then, yes then we know.
Today it turned out again that you can only win a game if you play forward and throw the ball to a player with the same shirt as you at a throw-in. But it has to be said that Heerenveen also struggled with this.
So don't look back but forward is the motto.
And think about this: The good thing about the past is that it is over.
Good luck during the tournament and happy Easter.
