week 4: FC Volendam match review
By: j | September 25th, 2008PSV is graced with a stroke of luck with scheduling as after a miserable loss to AZ Alkmaar and a mid-week match against their reserves in the KNVB Cup, bottom-of-the-table FC Volendam visits Philips Stadion. This is particularly advantageous as you consider they face Liverpool next Wednesday in the Champions League in a match they are desperate to win after they were completely dominated by Atlético Madrid 3-0 in the opening match.
The promotion to Eredivisie for FC Volendam, has been very difficult to start. They opened the campaign with hearty effort against Heerenveen, that ended in a tough 3-2 loss, followed up with a 5-0 dismantling at the hands of Feyenoord Rotterdam and then lost 2-1 last week at home to Steve McClaren’s Twente Enschede. Supporters of het andere oranje recognize this start all to well and certainly fear promotion will be short-lived. Manager Frans Adelaar employs a very aggressive attack and with Dominique van Dijk, Bernard Hofstede, Rowin Van Zaanen and Jack Tuyp creating most of their attacking flourish to-date and displayed more patience last week. Hubb Steven’s can expect them to continue with this patient attitude and look to counter-attack if PSV over-commits. Based upon scheduling I equally expect Hubb Stevens to employ a lineup respective of Wednesday’s Champions League match.
I will report on the match on Monday morning. I apologize for the delay but I am off in my own matches and will likely be unable to properly review and post till then. I thank you for your patience in this.
