FOOTBALL – The absolute final phase of the competition has begun for FC Emmen. The Drenthe club is in a shaky position in the Kitchen Champion Division with eight matches to go. The current 9th place means a play-off competition for promotion at the end of the day, but competition is lurking. The gap to number 13 (MVV) is only 2 points.
FC Emmen has played one game less than numbers 10, 11, 12 and 13. That is why Emmen will play twice this Easter weekend: tonight against Jong Ajax and next Monday (Easter Monday) FC Groningen will come to De Oude Meerdijk.
“An important weekend, in which we can do good things in the rankings,” said Grim, who – except for the injured Chardi Landu and Ben Scholte, who is still suspended for one game – has everyone available. The Amsterdammer does not reveal anything about the setup. “Is it a puzzle? Of course. It is not the case that, like a few weeks ago, we won convincingly twice in a row and a change would be completely illogical. It is clear that I want a fresh, fit group for both matches. “
Bradly van Hoeven and Vicente Besuijen seem to be the wing players against Jong Ajax. Two weeks ago, Van Hoeven was one of the best Emmen residents at Jong FC Utrecht (2-3 win) and Vicente Besuijen, who was substituted shortly before half-time, has a chance to recover. The Aberdeen loanee made a dismissive gesture towards the bench after a comment from Grim. Grim didn’t think twice and took the attacker to the side. “The cold is gone. Vicente called me a day later and apologized. Then that’s the end of the matter for me.”
“I want to be important for the team, but I didn’t hit the ball,” Besuijen explains once again his frustration in Utrecht. “Yes, then I will look for the ball. I am a player who relies on my intuition.”
“Intuition is indeed his strength,” adds Grim. “But he has to learn to combine that with playing in the interest of the team. His first match, for example, he held the wing and played a great game based on intuition.”
