Button changes at Roda JC after unfair promotion party: ‘We laughed in tears’ | Football

After Roda JC’s 2-0 win over SC Cambuur, the players and fans of the Limburg club thought that promotion had already been achieved on Friday. The field was stormed and players were already sitting on the shoulders of the fans. “We laughed very hard about that,” Sibum said on Thursday ESPN.

“It is no longer an issue for us. We even laughed in tears,” Sibum continued after the last training for the match against FC Groningen. Roda JC only needs one point for promotion. In the event of a defeat, FC Groningen takes the second ticket for the Eredivisie.

Defender Matisse Didden was one of the players who were already on the fans’ shoulders on Friday evening. “The only thing you can do is laugh about it yourself and accept what happened,” said the Belgian.

“Last week was hectic, but things are going well and I’m happy to be competing tomorrow,” said Didden. With that statement, the defender was referring to his obvious handball that referee Sander van der Eijk had overlooked.

FC Groningen-Roda JC starts on Friday at 8 p.m. As the leader, Willem II is already assured of promotion and can secure the title in the Kitchen Champion Division against Telstar on the same evening.
