“Moreover, I know Arne Slot a bit…”

FC Emmen hopes to secure survival in the coming matches. Preferably directly, but the assignment is very tough. On Sunday afternoon, national champion Feyenoord will visit Drenthe.

Veldmate is counting on motivated Feyenoord

Feyenoord already secured the national title last week, but Jeroen Veldmate is ‘just’ counting on a motivated opponent. At RTV Drenthe says the Emmen captain: “Feyenoord may be champions, but they want to break the points record.”

Veldmate thinks that Feyenoord touches on more motivation points. “They will also be eager to win to ensure that Santiago Gimenez becomes the top scorer in the Eredivisie. Moreover, I know Arne Slot a bit and I can’t imagine him running a race. I also think that is completely justified.”

The seasoned defender does not yet know whether he will still be active after the summer break. “For now, only one thing matters and that is to keep FC Emmen in the Eredivisie.” Directly preferably, but he says: “Incidentally, it is not that I am blinded by the next two matches, because we may have to play more matches in the playoffs. It’s very simple. Another 3.5 weeks of blasting, although I hope it will be vacation in a week.”
