The 53-year-old tactician revealed that prior to his side’s tie against NAC Breda, he was hoping for the table-toppers to drop points on Eredivisie match-day 22.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463 head coach, Ron Jans, has insisted that anything can happen in the race for the Eredivisie title in the remaining weeks of the 2011/12 campaign.
The Friesland outfit are currently sitting third in the league table, only two points behind the joint table-toppers, PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar. In addition, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam and Ajax Amsterdam are only separated by a solitary point
at fourth, fifth and sixth spot respectively.
Jans admitted that the title race will go down to the wire and insisted that anything can happen in the remaining action of the 2011/12 campaign.
“You never know what happens next. I do not assume Heerenveen to win the title. We are sitting in the top three just because of some poor performances from the top Eredivisie sides”, Jans was quoted as saying to Voetbal International.
The outfit from Friesland managed to trim down five-point gap from the top to only two points last week. They cruised to a hard fought 1-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119 respectively.
The 53-year-old tactician revealed that he was hoping prior to his side’s clash against NAC that the table-toppers drop points.
“I was hoping that one of our competitors drop points this weekend”, Jans added.
The Dutch trainer then went on to insist that he wants his side to play in Europe next season.
“We want to play European football. And we do not want to feel unnecessary pressure on our shoulders by aiming to lift the Eredivisie title, as there are still six teams competing for championship”, Jans concluded.
Heerenveen could very well snatch the top spot from PSV in the league table if they bag all three points in their next four Eredivisie encounters. They will lock horns against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221, SBV Excelsior and PSV in their upcoming four league
encounters.
