The 53-year-old tactician urged his troops to put in their 100 percent if they are to claim a good result in their upcoming Eredivisie encounter.

The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NAC-Breda-c39983 boss has urged his troops to put in a dominant show if they are to claim a good result, while insisting that his side must start playing as a unit if they want to secure good results consistently.
“We must show the courage to play football. That is the only way to get something from NEC. We can only achieve results if we play as a team and we can”, Lokhoff was quoted as saying to the media in the pre-match post conference.
The Venlose Trots are heading into the game on the back of a hard fought 2-2 stalemate against Heerenveen, and the 53-year-old tactician has insisted that his troops must put in at least the same kind of show that they staged against the Friesland outfit
last week.
“In the game against Heerenveen we showed that already. In Nijmegen on Friday night I expect at least the same from my players, preferably something more”, Lokhoff added.
NEC, on the other hand, are heading into the game on the back of three successive victories. A 2-1 victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237 last week.
And the Dutch trainer has admitted that the Nijmegen outfit will give his side a stern test, as they are enjoying a good run of form.
“NEC is a team in form. With that team you see very well what a series of victories can do for you - they have a lot of confidence”, Lokhoff concluded.
VVV are currently placed 17th on the Eredivisie table, three points ahead of the last placed, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Willem-II-c40945 Tilburg. Lokhoff would be hoping that his side claims a good result on Friday night, and enhance their chances of prolonging their stay in
the Dutch top tier come the end of the season.
