Chagrijn dominates at ADO Den Haag after another loss of points on Monday evening. For the second time, Vitesse was not defeated, although this time it remained a 0-0 draw, in contrast to the 2-1 defeat for the Hagenezen on Friday evening. Both captain Jari Vlak and trainer Robin Peter are not happy with the way things are going.
“Of course it’s still not a party yet,” says Vlak in front of the cameras shortly after the match ESPN. “We would have liked to win and it was possible, but he has to be in it. It has been a bit more difficult in recent weeks and today we did everything we could. Created a lot of chances, but did not score. We have to make sure we win these kinds of games and then everything will be fine.”
Peter agrees with the words of his captain and especially noticed the joy of the opposing team. “You saw one team celebrating the point as a win and for the other it felt like a loss. That was us. We didn’t score today. Creating chances is one thing, but working the ball over the line is another. We didn’t do that today.”
Although again there was no win, the German coach saw some bright spots and is confident. “We have had few bad games so far this season. Last Friday was the worst. Today I saw a completely different game. We play to win games and so we are disappointed. The effectiveness in finishing chances has disappeared, but there is no point in panicking.”
After the defeat on Friday evening, Peter was strikingly critical of Vitesse’s playing style. He mentioned that again after the game on Monday evening. “I will never play this way. Everyone is free to do what they want to win games. I like different playing styles. It is not about my opinion, but about how successful we are. Today we were not successful and I am responsible for that. It has to be better,” he concludes.
