http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede hope to lift silverware, KNVB beker Cup and Eredivisie: Dutch Eredivisie special
The 2010-11 season has brought many highs for FC Twente Enschede. The Tukkers are in cruise control of the league at the moment. With only two matches left to play, they know one thing for sure is a win in both of their matches and they will be lifting their second Eredivisie title.
When Steve McClaren left the De Grolsch Veste after guiding the Tukkers to their first ever league title last term, nobody in Enschede expected that their beloved side would reach the sky again. However, the Tukkers’ new manger, Michel Preud’homme, has done tremendously well to guide the Reds towards glory for a second time in their history.
The Belgian trainer’s men are in with a strong chance of successfully defending their title, as they are currently leading the league table. However, they are separated from the second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 Amsterdam by a solitary point, meaning that any slip-ups in the remaining two encounter could prove to be fatal in the Tukkers’ Eredivisie title hunt.
Preud’homme will be hoping that his side-stage dominant show in their remaining fixture of the season and enhance their chances of another Dutch glory. The Belgian trainer and the Tukkers’ President, Joop Munsterman, have praised their side’s performances in their European campaign. Both of them were content with their team’s show that made them reach in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.
However, the 52-year-old tactician’s side exhibiting supreme performances on two fronts, the Belgian trainer will certainly expect silverware to come at the end of the season. The Tukkers’ tactician has done wonders after taking over from the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 manager.
Many would still point out to their early exit from the UEFA Champions League, but the odds were against them after the group stage draws were made. With the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Tottenham Hotspur, the Tukkers needed miraculous performances to advance to the next phase of the Europe’s most prestigious club competition.
However, the Eredivisie outfit done well to perform brilliantly in the Europe’s secondary club competition. Nevertheless, they were utterly disappointed with their exit in the quarter-final from the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Villarreal-CF-c40899.
The Tukkers will certainly now feel the pressure as the expectations are now sky-high in Enschede. The defending Eredivisie will play their KNVB beker Cup final against the Amsterdammers at the De Kuip Stadion on Sunday, May 8.
The Reds have to remain focused on their preset objectives and look to capture both of the titles this season, as they are in a good position to win on both fronts. Preud’homme’s troops will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Willem-II-c40945 Tilburg in their upcoming clash in front of their home crowd and will travel to Amsterdam to face the Amsterdammers at the Amsterdam Arena on the final day of the season.
The Tukkers are in a good position to win a double this season. They are already in the KNVB beker Cup final, and a solitary point ahead from the second placed team in the league table. For now, everything would be rosy in Enschede, and even the most unenthusiastic of the Reds’ fans will expect silverware come the end of the season.
