1st out of 3

The league is finishing and we have 3 exciting matches ahead. Important as they are to maintain our position and start thinking on the next season.

This Sunday we're playing against Zeeland FC, team that appears to be improving a little regardless of the age most of their players bear. The match seems challenging, and I know our fans believe it's going to be a tight game. However, I think we are better than them and the roster shows that clearly (12 points difference).
It's true that we have two bruised players: Ernesto Pagnocelli and Oskar Frieling, but both players requested to play this match, showing a lesson to the rest of the team, and I'd like to quote Oskar on this one: "Bruises and injuries are part of our job! We need to show we are better. We need to show that injuries are not obstacles and will not prevent us from winning this match!" That being said, the team raised fists together and released a war cry that made me shake on my feet. Unbelievable energy. I almost cried at such intense emotion and team proudness, and guts.
We hope the best for this match, the team will be:

Norbert Szilágyi (Keeper)
Janco Wijnen (Wing Back)
Olaf Meutstege (Inner Def)
Mariano Magalhães (Inner Def)
Oskar Frieling (Wing Back)
Siedo Wajwakana (Winger)
Ernesto Pagnocelli (Midfielder)
Dorian Menten (Midfielder)
Youp Zwaga (Winger)
Sweitse Flokstra (Forward)
Jeen Sieraal (Forward)

This will be defined as the 1st team from now on while we wait for Ionel to recover from his injury, and for the younger players to be up to the challenge of being part of the 1st team.

Lastly, I'd like to thank all the fans for their inconditional support every week.
