“Cambuur”, represented by Uldriks, started the new Dutch championship season with a loss to “Excelsior” (0:2), but scored the first point of the season in the second match against “Utrecht”. “I am happy for the guys. If after the previous match I said that we should look at ourselves in the mirror, then we did it. First of all, after the match I went home, I was dissatisfied, and I saw an animal looking at me in the mirror. I knew that I had to try harder more, and we worked well in training – both players and coaches, and today we earned a good result,” said Uldriķis after the point won.
