The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221 and has urged his troops to shift their focus to the upcoming Eredivisie fixture against Roda JC Kerkrade.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119 head coach, Pieter Huistra, was extremely disappointed with his side’s 3-0 hammering at the hands of ADO Den Haag at Kyocera Stadion on Thursday, April 12.
The Dutch trainer voiced his anger after his side dropped three crucial points and has admitted that his side staged a poor show in the opening half.
“The first-half was very poor. We were poor in every department. We lost possession consistently and gave away goalscoring opportunities way too easily. We never managed to put pressure on ADO, and it seemed like everyone has suddenly forgot to play football”,
Huistra was quoted as saying to FCupdate.nl.
The home side dominated proceedings right from the first whistle with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jens-Toornstra-c18300 having the first attempt on goal in the sixth minute.
Charlton Vicento failed to hit the target after being fed up by Christian Kum. However, Vicento managed to find the net in the 38th minute to make it 1-0.
ADO doubled their advantage near the hour-mark when a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tjaronn-Chery-c35168 corner was perfectly headed into the back of the net by Kenneth Omeruo.
In the 79th minute, Toornstra’s cross from the right found Vicento in the box, who headed the ball across the face of the goal for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ebi-Smolarek-c11816 to tap home and seal a comprehensive win.
The Green-White-Army have now dropped to 12th spot on the table, five points adrift of the last UEFA Europa League play-offs spot. They will lock horns against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 Kerkrade in their upcoming league fixture at Euroborg Stadion on April 15.
Huistra has urged his side to forget about the humiliating defeat and shift their focus to Sunday’s encounter.
“We must play better than today against Roda JC on Sunday. We must perform as a unit and bag all three points at the end. I only want to see my side playing a good game”, the Dutch mentor concluded.
