Young FC Utrecht can look back on a good first half of the season. It was expected that the Utrecht were going to fight against relegation and that came from. As trainer André Pronk predicted, it would take time before his team would have adjusted to the higher level and the physical game of the Jupiler League. Young FC Utrecht had regularly shown that they have a lot of potential by, for example, to grab a point at Volendam and win Helmond Sport and FC Emmen. It is to win the Utrecht bequeathed FC Dordrecht (1-1) and Achilles ’29 (1-1), otherwise even the middle fingertips.
Last week Domstedelingen were still close to a run in Leeuwarden. It was thanks to goalkeeper Menno Heus that peace Cambuur only stood 2-0. Really had prevented some almost certain goals Cambuur. In the second half Young FC Utrecht fought back by kopdoelpunt of Myenty Abena, which is always dangerous in standard situations. A few minutes later Gyrano Kerk managed to convert his third big chance. However, the home team bounce back and suffered Jong FC Utrecht was still a 4-2 defeat.
It was a learning game, according to Pronk. “For their struggle and the ability to keep going: before I gave the guys in the locker room or a compliment. Mentally it was very heavy, but they have stirred well. It is part of the textbook and we have got today again dished out a chapter, “said Pronk, on Monday probably get some reinforcement from the first. It seems that Patrick Joosten, Kristoffer Peterson and Church form the attack line and Menno Koch minutes will make up the rear.
Probable lineup Jong FC Utrecht
Nijhuis; Ulusoy, Koch, Abena, Moore; Mulder, Velanas Van Rooijen; Church Joosten, Peterson
Telstar: Want bad period behind them
The second period was one to forget for Telstar. The team picked up just seven points, while they still took fourteen in the first period. With two draws the recovery is somewhat visible in the last matches, but if Monday is not won in Utrecht coach Michel Vonk will still go into the winter break with a less feeling. A dull game against FC Dordrecht last week ended in a 0-0 draw. The White Lions were the least of the two teams claim the victory, but on the whole was a draw was a fair reflection of the balance of forces.
Benjamin van den Broek, the captain off after the return of Frank Korpershoek, it finds a tricky match against the team pledge. “You get different Jong Ajax and PSV little note of Jong Utrecht players and you do not know who’s going to play so it’s really the great unknown. The boys are young and eager and mistakes are made, and we must punish. A defeat is the harshest that can happen now, “says Van den Broek.
Telstar fog Bryan Ottenhoff and Oussama Zamouri because of injuries, although there is still a question mark in the name of Zamouri. Stefano Lilipaly still missing because of international duty, while Naoyuki Yamazaki and Blake Horton already have allowed to begin the winter break. It is not excluded that Lilipaly not be returning because the Indonesian international has impressed during the AFF Cup. He is even in the race to become the tournament player. There were, according to Vonk, already reported several clubs.
