De Koempels are battling for a Europa League play-offs spot, and the Dutch-Belgian trainer has urged his troops to bag maximum points in their upcoming Eredivisie clash against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NAC-Breda-c39983.
With only 12 points left to play for in the 2011/12 campaign, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 Kerkrade head coach, Harm van Veldhoven, has insisted that every point is crucial in his side’s quest to finish in the top eight Eredivisie sides.
Occupying the ninth spot on the league table, De Koempels are level on points with the eighth-placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RKC-Waalwijk-c40370, who have a better goal difference.
De Limburgers will lock horns against NAC Breda in their upcoming Eredivisie encounter at Rat Verlegh Stadion on Friday, April 20.
The Dutch-Belgian trainer has revealed that any point against the Yellow Army would be a bonus for his side after they managed to claim all three points against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119 at Euroborg Stadion on April 15.
“Before the match against FC Groningen, we said that we must bag all three points in at least one of the two upcoming away fixtures if we are to participate in the Europa League play-offs. We managed to claim a hard fought victory in Groningen, so now, every
point in Breda would be a bonus for us”, Van Veldhoven was quoted as saying to the Dutch media.
The former Germinal Beerschot coach went on to insist that they will put in their hundred per cent to achieve a good result in Breda.
“It would be great if we manage to emerge victorious against NAC. It will certainly ease pressure off our next week’s match at home against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven”, Van Veldhoven added.
De Koempels head coach will have to do without the services of the 30-year-old defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jimmy-Hempte-c18562, in the upcoming league fixture. The Belgian stopper sustained a hamstring injury during his side’s 1-0 win over the outfit from Groningen on April 15.
“Jimmy will not feature in this match, as he is struggling with a hamstring injury”, Van Veldhoven concluded.
The Dutch-Belgian mentor would be hoping that his side secures a good result against the struggling NAC, who are sitting five points clear of the danger zone.
