The Dutch-Belgian trainer was all praise for John Karelse’s side, but admitted that his troops deserved to emerge victorious following their impressive second half display.
Harm van Veldhoven was extremely delighted with Roda JC Kerkrade’s impressive 3-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NAC-Breda-c39983 at Rat Verlegh Stadion on Friday, April 20.
The Dutch-Belgian trainer was all praise for the Yellow Army’s performance in the opening 45 minutes. However, he admitted that his side deserved to bag all three points after staging a scintillating show in the second-half.
“We were very sloppy in the opening half. NAC played impressively and without a doubt were the better side. Unfortunately, they failed to score any goal. After the half-time break, we dominated proceedings and scored three goals. I am obviously very pleased
with the result”, Van Veldhoven was quoted as saying to Voetbal International.
The former Germinal Beerschot coach went on to reveal that all three points have given his side a lot of hope about finishing in the top eight Eredivisie sides.
“Three points have given us the space while it has put immense pressure on RKC. Everyone can see the desire in the team to participate in the Europa League play-offs”, Van Veldhoven concluded.
NAC started the match aggressively and put constant pressure on the visiting side’s defence. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pawel-Kieszek-c29562.
