AZ Alkmaar’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roy-Beerens-c31808 praise Gertjan Verbeek’s efforts – Dutch Eredivisie news
AZ Alkmaar’s Roy Beerens has praised head coach, Gertjan Verbeek, following his impressive start for his new club. Beerens arrived at AFAS Stadion in the summer transfer window from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463.
The Dutch winger performed impressively in his four-season stay at the Friesland outfit, scoring 25 goals in well over 100 appearances while also providing a bagful of assists.
However, the 23-year-old believes that his new coach has played an important part in reviving his form. He also stressed on the fact that his understanding with Verbeek has also helped him a lot.
“I'm revived at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571. I feel liberated. Verbeek’s personal approach appeals to me. He says what I can and cannot do, or that I should try this or that. We talk specifically about my position and express our opinions to each other. I can play freely, on the
wing or inside, so that I can create for my teammates. I'm not in a fixed role and that's just fine”, Beerens said while talking to the journalists.
The outfit from Alkmaar have started their 2011/12 Eredivisie campaign brightly. They currently occupy the top spot in the league table, after having notched up 18 points from seven games.
Furthermore, they have also commenced their Europa League campaign in some form, beating Malmo FF 4-1.
Nonetheless, the Dutch ace admitted that to keep their position at the summit of the Dutch top tier intact, they need to perform highly throughout the season. He also insisted that their impressive start does not indicate that they are going to win the
title.
“How long will we stay ahead? I do not know. We are all very fit. We have a busy programme with lots of midweek matches in the Europa League, where we can do well too. But it is not realistic to say that we have already won the title”, Beerens concuded.
AZ will lock horns against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VVV-Venlo-c40915 in their upcoming league encounter at De Koel Stadion on Sunday, October 2. The 23-year-old would be hoping that his side secure all three points and extend their lead atop the table.
