After an international break and before the Youth League match in Madrid, Vitesse comes to the Herdgang where we would like to keep the points simply because they are badly needed. In short we need them.
The start clearly shows what our intention is and after seven minutes Lennerd takes a corner and Maxime, who came with the forward, pops the ball with his inside foot into the top right corner. Maxime shows today that this is going to be his game. His first goal and in the rest of the match he is the man. He sprinkles long passes as if he is Santa Claus. A pleasure to see. In between he stands in defense like a house.
But Vitesse also wants the points because they need them too and so, after just under half an hour, it is suddenly 1 - 1 when a ball from the right drops in via the inside post out of Mike's reach. So we have to start again after the break.
We do and then it is actually clear that we are the better team, also in footballing terms, but in front of goal we are not so decisive and so there are still some chances for a goal that pass us by. A little more decisiveness in front of the goal could have sealed the game earlier. But finally Justin, after a good push from Karim, and Mathias, after a pass from Len, took the score to 3 - 1. A deserved victory today and we move up a few places in the standings. Next Wednesday we have to see who will be allowed to go to Madrid to get at least one point, but we can't really do that because we just want to win, can we? But anyway, we will go for the winter in the Youth League and then we will see. This was in any case a good boost towards Wednesday and in the league we now have a more realistic picture. This is what we do it for.
Have a nice weekend and good luck Wednesday in Spain. And despite the fact that the 'Goedheilig Man' is in the Netherlands, I am convinced that He doesn't mind us picking up our present in Madrid.
Then His real servants won't have to make an effort to bring it. And we know what He always says: he who is sweet gets the goodies he who is naughty gets the ....
We will go for the goodies.
Men good luck.
Bye-bye.
