Who can become third, may also be first. Van Seumeren: “You always have to dream. Just look at the fairy tale of Leicester City, which became champion of England in 2016. Giving up is not in my dictionary.”
Despite the fact that Van Seumeren has now sold about forty percent of his shares and then put the money back into the club, Utrecht is in good shape – despite the corona crisis.
The pain of loss
Although the pain of the lack of the cup final can still be felt during the anniversary party. Especially with the owner. “That hurts terribly and I do not understand it at all. Governing is looking ahead, but I have the idea that it is not present in Zeist,” he refers to football association KNVB, which already decided in May to cancel the 2020 cup final .
According to Zuidam, Utrecht should learn from the past. He points to the lost cup final in 2002, when Utrecht was close to winning, but Ajax equalized from offside position in injury time. Zlatan Ibrahimovic then gave the team from Amsterdam the cup in the extension.
