FC Twente won 0-3 on Saturday at Riga FC and as a result, the cash register is ringing (again) at the club from Enschede. Leon ten Voorde reports this in his analysis on the Tubantia website.
“FC Twente made the biggest profit on Thursday evening in the financial field. Although the big money can only be earned by qualifying for the group stage, by reaching the play-offs of the Conference League, the club can in any case already add a million euros he writes. “Add to that the prospect of a full Grolsch Veste, because Fenerbahce is a top-class crowd magnet, and it may be clear that the Enschede residents also did excellent business outside of the sporting aspect in Riga,” said Ten Voorde, who saw that it became the ‘evening of Rock’.
“The right striker, who suffered from a lack of return for a whole season, was also accurate in the return, and again it was a beautiful goal,” he notes. “Last week his goal was a bit compared to the way Arjen Robben always had a patent. Rots himself thought that was a bit exaggerated. But on Thursday evening the name of the former world star came up again with his goal. Rots came in from the right and shot the ball in the intersection in a wonderful way: 0-1. À la Robben. With that goal, after less than an hour of play, Rots guided the extremely difficult FC Twente to victory in the diptych. But that next week should be a lot better than in Riga, was the easiest conclusion of the evening.”
