Remko Pasveer can hardly believe what happened to him on Wednesday with Vitesse against VVV-Venlo. The keeper and captain of the Arnhem team had to take four hits – Giorgos Giakoumakis scored four times – and saw a nice run with his team come to an end.
“This was a total off-day, for everyone. Everything went wrong and we did not reach our strength. VVV did a fantastic job in terms of head strength”, said the experienced Pasveer (37) after the 4-1 defeat. ESPN.
At half time it was already 3-0, although the goalkeeper was still confident that Vitesse could turn the game. “But it took too long before we scored. It’s a real shame. This was absolutely not necessary. We have to talk about this together, because this has to be improved.”
Vitesse had all won the first five games of 2021. In the Eredivisie, the Arnhemmers were too strong for Heracles Almelo (0-2), FC Utrecht (1-0), FC Emmen (1-4) and FC Groningen (1-0) and in the cup tournament ADO Den Haag became 2 -1 reports.
Pasveer did not want to talk about possible title chances after the zeperd in Venlo. “I say every week that it is not that far yet. You can see that now. We could not turn the game around. We have put down a very good run and now we have a downer, although that does not mean that we are now down. to be.”

Letsch: ‘This was not the real Vitesse’
Vitesse coach Thomas Letsch did not understand anything about his team. “We were not there, did not win the most important matches and did not give home. We have to analyze how that could be done and first of all I ask myself. This was not the real Vitesse”, said the German.
“Maybe we focused too much on the flow and maybe we should have put in more fresh players. It is not easy to answer the question what exactly went wrong.”
Vitesse, which may see the gap to leader Ajax increase to six points, will get the chance to rehabilitate next Saturday: RKC Waalwijk will then visit Arnhem.
