SC Telstar coach Anthony Correia does not want to be compared with Arne Slot and Peter Bosz, the coach said in an interview with Voetbal International. The 43-year-old Correia is seen as a successful trainer, after he guided Telstar to the Eredivisie last season.
The team from Velsen-Zuid surprised friend and foe by being promoted to the highest level in the Netherlands. Telstar now enters the winter break as fifteenth and has the opportunity to continue playing in the Eredivisie after this season. Correia is now being carried on all fours. “But comparing myself with Slot and Bosz is not yet an option. To stick to myself: at Odin and Katwijk I let my team play football in the same way as now at Telstar. In that respect, there is a line.”
In the interview, Telstar’s trainer indicates what he wants to be known for. “Energy and intensity are paramount. By applying high pressure we take risks. If that doesn’t work, we deliver low pressure with a lot of intensity. When in possession of the ball, there must be a lot of creativity and movement. My players must feel free to take risks with the ball. Making actions, passing through the lines.
Telstar is currently on enforcement duty, but reinforcement is required during the winter break, according to Correia. “The skeleton of the team is in place, but we want to be stronger in the second half of the season. Some scoring ability is very welcome, but almost every club is after that. And we could also use a new type of leader.”
