NAC Breda lost 2-0 on Friday evening when visiting Almere City. Trainer Maurice Steijn is not satisfied with the game of his team afterwards, but also shares a big sneer at the KNVB. The current schedule cannot be sustained, says the trainer.
“That’s a bit of the predictive thought I had, isn’t it, that it was irresponsible to play”, Steijn points out in front of the camera FOX Sports on the injuries that De Rooij and Van Hooijdonk sustained against Almere. “This is why we have asked to postpone the game. People are overloaded and are running into injuries. Now we will probably lose two players again.”
NAC tried to convince the KNVB that the current game schedule cannot be sustained, but was not heard from Zeist. “They are not open to consultation. We have constantly indicated this scenario. Again: we did not play well today. We will not hide behind that. But what we did say is that it is irresponsible to deal with so much with such a small group. games in a short period of time. That has now become apparent. (…) We are now being caught even more. “
The steam is not yet coming out of Steijn’s ears, who is clearly holding back for the camera. “I say this in a personal capacity, the KNVB should do what they want with it. I think the facts speak for themselves. Now we can patch everything up again on Monday and go to the next game within two days”, he concludes.
ð ?????? Maurice Steijn is cynical after the disappearance of Kaj de Rooij and Sydney van Hooijdonk.
