Of all the degrading candidates who do not have the PEC:

Toch ziet het er niet goed uit voor PEC, na zeges voor de concurrenten Fortuna Sittard, Willem II en Sparta.

“We can thank you very well. In the manner we want to play, we want to play better,” said Pelle Clement, of FC Utrecht (1-1) winning against the PEC on his own. “It doesn’t matter if it’s in the competition phase.”

Fortune and happiness

Dat hadden de anderen wel, zoals Fortuna Sittard. Trainer Sjors Ultee is trots op zijn samenraapsel, zoals de ploeg vaak werd omschreven.

“He is a great team that has a great time to play and play for himself”, he said in a 2-1 win on Twente. Fortuna trok alle registers open om de zege over de strep te trekken. “I don’t want to see that all geoorloofd is, but it doesn’t go very well.”
