New Dutch show: who wants to be champion?

Players AZ happy that Van Gaal leaves…

It seems like for the second season in a row, our teams start to choke when in reach of the finish line… .

Or maybe I am exaggerating. But, PSV couldn’t win vs FC Twente yesterday. Or better, they should have lost! They drew 1-1 and will have to wait another week to grasp the scale. Vergoossen isn’t too worried though…

And with Twente gaining a point, Feyenoord’s top 5 position is further threatened. The plagued Stadium club missed veterans Landzaat, Gio, Makaay and Timmer against Willem II and that seemed too much. Two blunders by Elkrami, the second goalie, and Feyenoord was up for another defeat: 1-3!

AZ is courting Martin Jol for next season. The chance that Van Gaal will stay is slim. The former CL winner has several offers pending from other clubs and thinks he will leave. Schalke 04, who just sacked their coach, is going to try and lure Twente coach Fred Rutten to the Ruhrgebiet. Hamburg also has Rutten on their hitlist, so it seems this impressive coach will leave the lowlands…

AZ drew again yesterday, 1-1 against Excelsior. NAC Breda won again and settles firmly in the top 5, as does Twente of course. NEC beat Vitesse and seems to be in the race for the UEFA Cup ticket play offs.
