Nathan Ngoy will eventually leave for a lot of money, according to head coach Mark van Bommel, DHnet reported.
Van Bommel expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance following a recent match, highlighting the central defense and the squad’s ability to regain control of the ball after conceding a goal, DHnet reported.
“I wanted us to reduce the stadium to silence and for that, we had to regain control of the ball,” van Bommel told DHnet.
The coach said that preparation time for the fixture was limited, yet the team executed his tactical instructions effectively for large stretches of the game.
Van Bommel pointed out that his side maintained a high level of play up until the 65th minute, though he acknowledged that the team needed to secure the result earlier.
“We had to kill the match,” van Bommel told DHnet. “Because on certain balls, we felt we didn’t have 100 percent control of the match.”
Despite those minor lapses in game management, the manager singled out the central defensive pairing for praise, describing their output as excellent.
When asked if Nathan Ngoy delivered a near-perfect performance, van Bommel extended the compliment to the entire backline while emphasizing the defender’s physical and technical attributes.
“Not only this match. The four forwards too. He anticipates very well. Physically, he is there,” van Bommel told DHnet. “He’s a top-level modern central defender. He’s going to leave for a lot of money.”
The coach tempered the financial projection with a lighthearted acknowledgment of football market volatility, adding a laugh.
Reflecting on whether to emphasize positive or negative takeaways from the fixture, van Bommel chose to focus entirely on the constructive elements of the display.
“The positive,” van Bommel told DHnet regarding his post-match assessment. “I really had little time to work with the players. So I’m glad to see they know how to implement what I ask. And for longer and longer periods.”
