SC Heerenveen is still fighting for a place in the play-offs for European football, but suffered a major blow last weekend. The Frisians lost 2-3 at home against FC Utrecht of former SC Heerenveen coach Ron Jans.
We already stated at the training camp in January that we were going for the play-offs,” Jans is quoted as saying Football International. “During matches I hear almost nothing of what is being shouted or sung. But I could hear ‘We are going to Europe’, yes.”
In Heerenveen, Jans received a standing ovation from the FC Utrecht audience. “That puts blushes on my cheeks. I usually don’t notice it, I hear it from others, because I’m so busy with the competition. From my first day here I have received a lot of positive reactions and that has only increased. “Let’s continue with that, I would say. Even if they don’t have to sing to me, I prefer the players,” said the head coach.
