d**k Advocaat has expressed confidence that his side can secure a good result in their upcoming Eredivisie encounter against Roda JC Kerkrade at Philips Stadion on Saturday, August 18.
The Eindhoven giants commenced the 2012/13 campaign in a disappointing manner, losing 3-2 against RKC Waalwijk. A brace from Rodney Sneijder couple with an unfortunate own goal from Wilfred Bouma helped RKC secure all three points, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremain-Lens-c18323 and Tim
Matavz’ strikes go in vain.
The former Borussia Monchengladbach boss has revealed that his side has showed great intent on the training field, and has expressed confidence that his side will bag all three points against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375.
“I see certain sharpness on the training pitch, but it’s all about the match. RKC put in an intelligent performance and we were unable to control them. We lost the game to ourselves rather than to RKC, but I already said that after the match. With all due
respect, but we should not be looking at Roda now either, but just show how good we are”, Advocaat was quoted as saying to the club’s official website.
The Dutch mentor went on to express his dismay over the mid-week international fixtures, as several of his first team players were not present in the training sessions.
“There wasn’t much time to discuss last week’s events due to Wednesday’s international games. We were training with only 12 players yesterday and with only seven guys the day before. It’s by no means a perfect preparation, but I’m not the only coach with
this problem”, Advocaat concluded.
Roda JC also failed to impress in their opening encounter of the 2012/13 season against PEC Zwolle, as the match ended in a hard fought 1-1 stalemate at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on August 11.
Advocaat would be hoping that his side performs at their best in front of their home crowd against De Koempels to secure all three points at the end of 90 minutes.
