FC Twente Enschede’s Michel Preud’homme wants a performance against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 – Eredivisie news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede are preparing to make history by winning a domestic treble this season. The Tukkers have already won the Johan Cruijff Shield earlier this season and now they await a serious challenge in the KNVB beker Cup final against AFC Ajax Amsterdam
at the De Kuip Stadion on Sunday, May 8.
Michel Preud’homme, the Tukkers manager, has demanded a strong performance from his troops in their upcoming clash against the Amsterdammers and has warned his men about the upcoming challenge. Preud’homme knows that he and his men have an excellent opportunity
to go into the history books, should they manage to emerge victorious against an impressive Ajax.
A week after the Cup final, the Tukkers travel to Amsterdam to play against Ajax in the Eredivisie title-deciding encounter on Sunday, May 15. The Belgian trainer hopes that his side win the Dutch Cup and make it possible to win three trophies this season.
However, the 52-year-old tactician knows that the Amsterdammers are a very good side and they have proven their worth in recent weeks. Moreover, their new manager, Frank de Boer, has remained influential and has played a vital part in guiding his troops to
compete on two fronts.
Preud’homme said, “I realize very well, but I want to anticipate anything. It only counts after the Cup final on Sunday against Ajax in De Kuip. Then we can have a whole week to prepare for the final league game in the Arena”
“I do not think us as a big favourite to start the Cup Final. They do have a young team but also form a tight collective. I think it is no coincidence that we play Ajax for the title and Cup. I think the best teams this season you have. That you may say,
of course, it is very important to win the title. But, I want to win the cup too”, he concluded.
The Tukkers sit atop the Eredivisie table, a solitary point ahead of the second placed Ajax. Preud’homme knows that his side would defend their Eredivisie title successfully should they avoid defeat against Ajax at Amsterdam Arena.
The Belgian trainer has his side’s entire focus currently on the Dutch Cup and believes that his troops can emerge victorious against Ajax.
