FOOTBALL – Dick Lukkien gets the chance to leave FC Emmen in his dream way after seven seasons at the Drenthe club. To achieve that goal, Lukkien and his men must deal with Almere City FC in two duels. “That’s the ultimate and hopefully we’ll have a big party here next Sunday.”
The Veendammer was of course happy with the victory (“despite the fact that it was not good, especially before the break”) and with the fact that his team took the NAC hurdle unscathed at their own Oude Meerdijk. “I want to keep a small blow on the arm, but it seems that everyone came out well. In fact, I secretly hope that more players will join the coming week.”
Lukkien could not and did not want to say too much about the opponent in the final of the play-offs – Almere City FC. “Of course I’ve seen their matches, but for a thorough analysis I’m going to lock myself up again – as always – in my attic room. I know it’s a club that is now in a similar situation to Emmen a few years ago, but I like it rather with our own sentiments. We want to stay in the premier league and we will do everything we can. “
Lukkien saw two beautiful goals after the break and a very strong playing Ahmed El Messaoudi. “For Richairo it was wonderful that he scored that goal, given the week he has behind him. And that ball also went in fantastic. And that you highlight Ahmed El Messaoudi is right, because he played very well We can use him so well in games like tonight and when he is free in his head he turns away so easily and plays very well in the combination, especially with Mark Diemers.”
