Recently, the whole of the Netherlands saw how FC Twente fared embarrassingly against Ajax. This led to negative reactions about FC Twente in the national media and great disappointment at the club. On Sunday at 4:45 PM, coach Joseph Oosting’s team will have the perfect opportunity to prove to themselves and the whole of the Netherlands that it is indeed the rightful number three in the Netherlands. If FC Twente wins when visiting AZ, it will secure third place in the lion’s den.
“We can get confirmation from our competitor. If we do it at AZ, we show that we are the rightful number three,” says trainer Joseph Oosting in conversation with TC Tubantia. However, that has not just happened yet. Only PSV, Feyenoord and NEC Nijmegen managed to win this season when they visited the AFAS Stadium.
“You notice from some reactions that people think that we will do this for a while, given our lead. But that is not how we are doing it. It is certainly not self-evident. I am always a bit more cautious myself. I think the teams are equal. “, says Oosting.
FC Twente is already assured of at least fourth place and thus participation in the competition phase of the Europa League. However, the target is third place. “We signed up for this blindly before the season. But now that we have been in this position for a while, we want more,” Oosting concludes. Kick-off will take place on Sunday at 2:30 PM in a sold-out AFAS Stadium.
