Heerenveen coach exposes the weakness of his own team and misses a strong holder against FC Twente

The sc Heerenveen – FC Twente match kicks off at 9:00 PM in the Abe Lensta Stadium. Both teams still play for something and therefore go all out for the three-pointer. sc Heerenveen can still qualify for the European play-offs and FC Twente wants to defend third place and thus earn a place in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

Kees van Wonderen, former assistant coach of FC Twente, is in his last months as coach of SC Heerenveen. Before the match, he exposes the weakness of his own team: conceding too many goals. “At Go Ahead Eagles we kept a clean sheet 25 times when we were promoted. Then you really had the feeling: if we score, it’s over. But now you don’t have that. Every time you have the feeling: another one will blow in soon.” …”

They recently lost 2-3 at home to Feyenoord, but SC Heerenveen took the lead twice and lost a point due to a defensive blunder. SC Heerenveen also took the lead at RKC, but the scoreboard read 1-1 after 90 minutes. This frustrated the trainer. “Against RKC, the field play is reasonable and you apparently have the match under control. But you have to keep seeing the danger. You have to run with your man, throw yourself in front of the ball and keep getting into the duels.”

Van Wonderen will not yet have access to Hussein Ali and Luuk Brouwers on Wednesday. “Luuk is not there yet on Sunday. He wanted to be there, but we better be safe. Next week he can experience a whole training week.” However, Van Wonderen can again have access to attacker Nicolaescu Ion. “Nicolaescu is there. He has taken the final steps of his rehabilitation before the international break and was given two minutes with Moldova. Will he get playing time? That could be possible.”
