Sneaked a WIN

As I stated yesterday in the press conference after the match, it was a great win against one of the best teams in this series.

It was a wonderful match. The Stadium looked great. Supporters were excited. It was a perfect show for our fans, for our team, and for me.

I'm happy with the showed performance by the team, and we'll continue working to push our improvement even further. I take this opportunity to announce that 3 more coach assistants joined our staff, as well as 3 physiotherapists. We want to set clear our possition that the team is not only made by the players, but also by the professional staff behind those players. We are working for the players, so that they can bring their best on every match.

This reached deeply into our players heart, and together with hard training they achieved what they wanted: VICTORY.

1st half, 18', and Harimau's forward goal got me nervous. Norbert was able to block a previous counter-attack, but not this one. However, 1 min after that the team reacted. Panchito showed the team that it was possible to overcome the disadvantages and, together with Dorian, led the team to the right path. He announced the reaction not one, but two times, and got an expectacular goal on his 3rd opportunity. 1st half ended. I made myself clear with the guys that I had 200% confidence on their skills, and that they will be able to win the match with the same devotion and hard work as in the training fields.

Two excellents attacks by Harimau, blocked by Norbert hardened the confidence and spirit of the team. Jeen Sieraal put us 2-1 ahead with a magnificent headed, after Panchito's perfect corner kick.Fans were euphoric.

Some fresh legs were necessary, so it was the time for two young players: Ennio Mangano and Jan-Willem Polman.

Ennio found the ball after a great free kick by Olag and, with extreme luck, put the final 3-1.

This victory was achieved as a result of hard training and a great confidence within the team. I'd like to congratulate this hard work with a party at the club's canteen. Entrance is free to all the fans willing to come and say hi to the team, however there will be security procedures in order to prevent any kind of problem within the fans.

Finally, I'd like to thank our friends from Harimau FC. They are still far ahead in the roster and will be promoting by the end of this season, so congratulations to Harimau FC, and their Manager DjManiac, as well.

To Victory and Beyond...
