The Report

Final number 9. Today will show whether or not we can handle the pressure of playing a final every week on this sunny day with great football weather. The answer is quickly given. No. And to then unfortunately fall through the ice like that on such a sunny day is a shame to have to admit.

Really nothing went well today. The duels were not won, there was little to no work ethic, no inspiration and we could go on and on. We really didn't deserve anything today. And that is sad especially with a view to the future. We gave away the nice starting position today. Instead of the hunted we have now become the hunter. So we know what to do in the next five games. Beyond that, all we can do is straighten our backs and rise to the challenge. We have proven that we can do that, especially considering the past.

Next week we have some practice games to get the feeling back.

Lineup: Van de Meulenhof, Teze, Soulas, Obispo, Carolina, Sadilek (27th Hattu), Daneels (60th Lonwijk), Fernandes (60th Konings), Piroe, Verreth and Gakpo.
