SC Heerenveen has to take a moment to pause. On Sunday, FC Groningen was too strong with 0-2, so the Frisians were unable to connect.
SC Heerenveen had a lot of trouble with FC Groningen, which was in an excellent position. “We were not good enough on the ball. In the first half we had three good moments to score a goal. If you just score a goal there, you are ahead, against the odds,” Robin Veldman responded afterwards. ESPN. “We were not at our level, especially with the ball.”
Veldman thought that FC Groningen, apart from the open final phase, did not create much. “We had more ball possession, but you don’t win games with that. When the structures were still correct, they did not create big opportunities together. In that ratio it was equal,” said the head coach of SC Heerenveen. “It was a closed match. Groningen is high in the rankings and we want to be competitive with those places. We can largely do that, just not today.”
