The Dutch mentor has asserted that his side must achieve a good result in their upcoming Eredivisie encounter if they are to avoid relegation to Eerste Divisie come the end of the season.
Despite admitting that Heerenveen are a tough side to beat, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ton-c35408 Lokhoff, has insisted that his side must achieve a good result against Ron Jans’ men. The two sides will meet at Abe Lenstra Stadion on Saturday, March 24.
The Venlo outfit are currently placed 16th in the league table, three points adrift of the safety zone. Lokhoff has expressed confidence that his side has what it takes to compete in the Dutch top flight.
However, he has insisted that they must start grinding out good results consistently in the remaining encounters if they are to avoid relegation to Eerste Divisie come the end of the season.
“I know that Heerenveen are a far superior side than VVV. Look at the table and you will get to know. However, we must try our best to achieve a good result”, Lokhoff was quoted as saying to Voetbal International.
The Dutch trainer will have to do without the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ferry-de-Regt-c13713. Yoshida will sit out his suspension while the remaining four are sidelined due to various injuries.
The 52-year-old tactician expressed his disappointment and insisted that his side’s chances of achieving a good result have been dented.
“It is annoying that Ferry is unavailable, as he is one of our main defenders. He did take part in Thursday’s training session, but complained about the groin and stepped out of the training”, Lokhoff concluded.
The former Dutch midfielder would be hoping that his side bag a point or more in the upcoming encounter against Ron Jans’ men, but he knows that his troops must deliver their best performance to achieve a good result.
Heerenveen, who are currently occupying the sixth spot in the Eredivisie table, five points off the table-toppers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar, would be gunning to bag maximum points to remain in the race for the title.
