http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119’s Pieter Huistra hopeful of achieving a good result against NEC – Eredivisie news
FC Groningen will battle against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NEC-c40018 Nijmegen in their upcoming league encounter at Euroborg Stadion on Saturday, December 3. Pieter Huistra, the Green-White-Army manager, is hopeful that his troops will perform well and achieve a good result in front of
their home crowd.
Pride of the North are coming into this match on the back of a demoralising 6-1 loss at the hands of PSV Eindhoven. The Eindhoven giants staged an exciting brand of football at home and outplayed the Green-White-Army in every department on the field.
Huistra has admitted that his side played poorly under pressure against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 and has urged his troops to put in their best in the upcoming encounter.
“We have discussed everything. Before the match against PSV, everyone had the belief that we can get a good result. But we played poorly under pressure. We have learned a lot from that defeat”, Huistra said while talking to the media.
The 44-year-old tactician then went on to reveal that the upcoming encounter is important for his side and stressed that his troops must look to emerge victorious.
“It is important that every player participates in every manner against NEC. After the defeat, we have adjusted our style and now we want to show other sides that we are ready to compete for the title”, Huistra concluded.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maikel-c23167 Kieftenbeld received his fifth yellow card of the season in the 6-1 loss against PSV. Consequently, he will watch the match from sidelines, while Nick Baker is expected to make his debut for the Green-White-Army.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kees-Kwakman-c20501 and Koen van de Laak will be unavailable for selection, as they all are sidelined due to various injuries.
Occupying the eighth spot in the league table, Pride of the North are a mammoth 13 points behind the league leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar.
On the other hand, NEC are struggling to find their rhythm and sitting at 15th place, a solitary point clear of the danger zone.
Huistra would be hoping that his side bags all three points in this encounter and better their position in the league standings.
