The English trainer has admitted that his side sloppily dropped points against PEC Zwolle last week, and has urged his troops not to take the upcoming Eredivisie game lightly if they are aiming for three points.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221 at De Grolsch Veste on Saturday, December 1.
The English trainer has admitted that his side’s back-line staged a below par showing against PEC Zwolle in their last week’s 2-2 stalemate at home on November 25.
Following a goalless opening half, the Tukkers managed to grab the lead within the opening three minutes of the second-half when Dusan Tadic coolly converted a spot-kick.
However, Denni Avdic’s strike restored parity in the 55th minute, while Joey van den Berg gifted the visiting side a surprising lead two minutes before the full time whistle.
It seemed like that the Zwolle outfit will secure a stunning and unexpected victory against the Enschede giants, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luc-Castaignos-c22500 managed to score the equaliser at the stroke of full time whistle.
“We dropped points last week because we defended poorly. We cannot be satisfied with our performance against PEC. Everyone must put in all their efforts against ADO to get a favourable result. I will not be satisfied for anything less than three points”,
McClaren was quoted as saying to Voetbal International.
ADO have staged impressive shows thus far, but their inconsistent results both at home and on the road have dropped them to eighth spot on the league table.
However, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 boss has heaped praise on the Hague-based club, insisting that they are a strong side and will certainly test his side to the limits.
“ADO have a well organised team. The players have fighting spirit, and ability to win games. They have remained unbeaten while playing away from home, so it will certainly prove to be a difficult game for us. They are very quick on counter, and put immense
pressure on their opponents right from the start”, McClaren concluded.
FC Twente are currently occupying the second spot on the Eredivisie table, only two points behind the table-toppers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven.
