Lukkien after FC Emmen’s new home win: “Magic is starting to emerge here” NOW

FC Emmen coach Dick Lukkien sees that De Oude Meerdijk is becoming an impregnable fortress in the Eredivisie. The club from Drenthe booked its ninth home win of the season against VVV-Venlo (3-0) on Saturday.

“A kind of magic is really starting here,” said 47-year-old Lukkien in front of the camera FOX Sports. “We are able to achieve a high level here. The atmosphere here is great. It is very nice to be part of it.”

FC Emmen occupies third place in the Eredivisie on the basis of matches played on its own soil. The Lukkien team scored 29 points from thirteen games at De Oude Meerdijk. Only Ajax (33 points) and AZ (31) collected more points in their own stadium.

On foreign soil, the statistics are a lot less promising for the people of Emmen. The red and whites only had three points left in the thirteen away games. This makes FC Emmen, which was promoted to the Eredivisie in 2018, the worst performing club out of home this season.

“We remain very sober”

“Unbelievable”, said FC Emmen star Glenn Bijl at FOX Sports when the remarkable statistic comes up. “I have absolutely no explanation for that. If we did, we would have been higher.”

FC Emmen occupies twelfth place after the victory at VVV and is six points above the danger zone. Nevertheless, trainer Lukkien does not want to count too rich with eight competition matches ahead.

“We remain very sober. The 35 point limit is a bit on which we have been heading from the start. Now that we are close to eight games before the end, we have to keep both feet on the ground. We are Emmen. The first safe play is a priority. “
