FC Twente Enschede are overflowing with confidence after they stole the Eredivisie top-spot from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven, when the Tukkers whitewashed PSV 2-0 on the home ground. However, the Tukkers have to forget their earlier triumph and look forward to stage
a dominant show in the quarter-final of UEFA Europa League against Villarreal CF at El Madrigal on Thursday, 7
April.
Michel Preud’homme, the Tukkers' manager, is expecting a good show from his side in the first leg of the encounter. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 trainer is optimistic for his side’s chances for progressing through to the next stage of the competition.
Preud’homme said, “We always try to perform our best. Villarreal have versatility and speed. The execution is very high in their players. We must remain focused to achieve a good result.”
The Yellow Submarines will prove to be the toughest competitor for the Tukkers in their Europa League campaign. They have an exceptional record at home, as they have remained unbeaten since 17 December, 2009. It would be a difficult task for Preud’homme’s
troops to emerge victorious in the up-coming fixture.
The 52-year-old tactician is extremely pleased with his troops’ performances so far this season. He admitted that his side has surprised him with their performances.
He said, “It's not that the players surprised me this season, but they continue to repeat superior performance. In the league, the Cup or the Europa League, they always find the solution for success. I hope it stays this way.”
The Belgium trainer was given the job at De Grolsch Veste at the start of the on-going season after the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 manager, Steve McClaren, parted away with the Tukkers. The 52-year-old tactician has led the Tukkers brilliantly so far, as they
are competing currently on three fronts.
Preud’homme has asked the Tukkers to raise their game if they have any ambition to win treble this season. He has admitted that it would be a shame if his side did not manage to win silverware at the end of the season after such superior performances.
