Vitesse has been hoping to connect with the top for years. However, the old club of PSV midfielders Davy Pröpper, Stijn Schaars and Marco van Ginkel has failed so far. This season that is mainly due to the vicissitudes of the Arnheimers.
Play-offs
About four weeks ago Vitesse won with convincing figures in the Euroborg against FC Groningen (3-0). The results against ADO Den Haag last week (2-2) and especially the loss against compatriot N.E.C. (2-1) were disappointing for the Arnhem supporters and as a result Vitesse finds itself three rounds before the end in the bottom of the left row. The play-offs are the best that Eindhoven's Rob Maas. Maas, also played in youth training at PSV and even belonged to the selection, but never made his debut in Eindhoven.
Maikel van der Werff
Three days after the game with PSV, Maikel van der Werff celebrates his 27th birthday. The defender, in his first season in Arnhem, started playing football at Always Forward in his hometown of Hoorn. Via Hollandia, FC Volendam, PEC Zwolle, the defender, who won the KNVB Cup and the Johan Cruijff Schaal in Zwolle, ended up at Vitesse.
