Team News OH Leuven

OH Leuven played against Club YLA in the Belgian Super League last weekend, securing a 2-1 win. After the game, head coach Van Den Abbeel was very honest about the fatique in the squad and how they are not up to the same level as some clubs in Europe:
“Of course, there’s some fatigue. We’re not yet used to this kind of match tempo in Belgium, but we’re trying to manage it as best we can. Still, it’s an enjoyable period for the players. As a footballer, all you really want is to play matches and win”, he said. 

What the coach has to say

Head coach Arno van Den Abbeel on the upcoming match against FC Twente: “On paper, Twente are favourites and we have to be humble and show the necessary respect. But that’s it, we pulled it off in Paris [drawing 2-2 on Matchday 1] and we should be able to repeat that against Twente.

“In Paris, we got a point and we could have done even better. If we’re at our best, believe in ourselves and capitalise on our chances then, yes, we can. I have complete confidence in my players and they’re raring to go. They’ve already shown their worth several times this season and they have to do that again against Twente.”

Team News FC Twente

FC Twente dropped points in the Vrouwen Eredivisie this weekend against FC Utrecht. Key players like Ravensbergen, van Ginkel, Roord, Vliek, Knol, Carleer, and Tuin were all involved. It will be interesting to see how the team copes with the demanding match schedule during this period.

What the coach has to say

Head coach Corina Dekker after the 1-1 draw against Chelsea: I’m so proud of the girls. I’m delighted about the power they put in, the energy, the effort, because they had to run a lot. We knew that we would have to be defending more than we were attacking. I think we could have scored in the first ten minutes, and that would have totally changed the game. But I think the tactical plan worked out very well for us in the end.”
