The next 8 games will take us up to the winter break massive spell as we play PSV, Vitesse, AZ and Feyenoord all really huge games at the top end of the table.

a3e33843f47f2f0768bb8551dc957471.png

Again we lose away from home in Den Haag back to back defeats for the first time this season. We then smash Heracles at the Abe Lenstra StadionĀ  4-0 like two different teams at the minute a great result nevertheless at with PSV table toppers at home up next much needed.

adcbe61463919e3f23dfff027c0d13e9.png

What a performance and result to match. From back to back away defeats to back to back 4-0 wins at home madness.

51b5a91be487b74d831c7d3921936ce6.jpg

Not a bad player on the park but you would think it would be the attackers to brag about but the back 4 was outstanding never gave PSV a chance all day.

8021c0c67550945595f73c1443af68a3.png

Sheer dominance one shot on target from the visitors. 7 clear cut chances for us more pass completion more headers and tackles won great reading.

Look at the difference in our passion combinations our balance is lovely.

cc2ac3e7cd24916a7600c245aa34145c.gif

Pick of the 4 goals was the 4th Odegaard with a defence splitting pass for Carneiro to run through and slot home.

af86afec998e67aa95e132673edc7ec6.png

Another two poor result away from home as we lose 2-0 to Vitesse and draw 1-1 with NAC there was a 3-0 convincing win in the middle against AZ a great result in itself.

16b3d7c4ac7724e8425e1081b9b2af30.png

The run at home continues as we dismantle Feyenoord. Our first half display was sensational.

acde261d9e6653366b7ed0129ba7f167.jpg

Again a well rounded performance from the whole team.

a61214223ac80cfb0e67b36ad91cf59b.png

Carneiro with 6 key passes a assist and a goal great all round performance for the centre forward. Linked play beautifully and got his goal late on which was more than deserved.

c554eb9df99e561bce95304d7c736a0d.gif

Pick of the goals was a nice one two from Mathew and Zeneli a nice team move.

9c4b3b77e2de4307450e6331f09379f4.png

We finished up for the winter break with a 3-1 away from home at Roda JC finally get a result on the road. Overall in the 8 games am happy we won 3 of the 4 big games I picked out before the game.

Our away form does make for slight concern though. Only winning 1 of the 4 games on the road

ea7cd4185d60807b3894e9c14506139f.png

After 18 games we are very much in the mix our away form possibly costing us top spot. NEC are having a great season back in the top flight and AZ and Vitesse have joined the mix making it a very interesting league.

great turnaround in form. Also some big wins in big games.

Thanks mate. Yeah a few good results. Away form is a bit worrying. So Iā€™ve tweaked the tactics slightly.Ā

The story of the KNVB Beker cup a trophy I really wanted to win this season to get so much needed silverware.

1b038b7fae567d95166a3dbd108ee283.png

First round sees us travel to Willem II in Tilburg. They were relegated last season from the Eredivisie and have started well in the jupiler league interesting tie.

ef0cbdf93f320e8d75c53a9ed78fc777.jpg

9fe94ad72abcd8ece42406c0e650e93b.png

Carneiro continues his habit of early goals in cup competitions. Never looked like losing as the full strength side brushed the second tier team aside.

fd7ec190744228cf478662f59bbf11b3.png

Up next was RKC Waalwijk anticipating a similar sort of tie as the first round. So how think I wouldn't be thinking that if @Deisler26 was at the helm.

e246e60625d804401ba2e89c303075e6.png

4ad7c75b5a830b2ba6657677f765f864.jpg

The second string takes care of business in Waalwijk. Total domination Xadas with a Steller performance. Young Westerlaken made his senior debut at right back as well.

ac1a0733f1b482ac98ac8a911ce7ab6e.png

3rd round and we welcomed ADO Den Haag to the Abe Lenstra Stadion which we have turned into a fortress. Still couldn't afford to become complacent.

de811b5c262108d4b61f51d732fbf8f8.jpg

Again a really dominant performance Xadas another stand out this time in the mezzala role. He really has lit the competition up so far.

2b442783bb6a7134445958c6e0fbb6e2.png

We were dealt another home draw against mid table side NAC. A game I thought we should win specially being at home.

711cd73b9444391b53e3ffa26e95c521.png

532a7540578127c4905b7f0dd858e20a.jpg

We really were dominating these teams in the cup again no shots on target from the visitors. At this stage I really was starting to believe this was our year.

21870b4b4d4b1106cd465a46d71b87b1.png

The Eredivisie holders are in town would rather have had them in the final but here we were.

fbdaca5f7171e13a29f5c0527e2388f3.png

What a game! Two sending offs a last minute equaliser and penalty's unfortunately we were poor in the penalty's missing our first two.

f99d61910d75cd72a1666ba8090a7643.png

"Overall a very decent cup run shame to go out the way we did. Four really dominant performances had me dreaming but it wasn't to be. Always next year. All the very best to Ajax in the final"

Sorry forgot my January transfer update. So here we are!

5b71562392ee54a7e8ca511b240f5876.png

Outgoing we see Rodrigao and Veerman depart both became unhappy with limited choices due to Gonzalo Carneiro and Erling Haland's form. We made a profit of Rodrigao but we let Veerman go cheap.

59a43ca1354107a5b6088b714f848531.png

94ab3fc7e165d4a45bba9f8db7f4496d.png

Arber Zeneli finally got his move he had been unhappy the whole season after we rejected a Ā£10 million bid from Real Sociedad. He never really got back to his first season from so we have to accept a lower deal but it has a good sell on clause so we wish him all the best.

65253a28335dad01bf3a9f3e3c2cc333.png

Incoming Etebo and Montes.

b6c40e4c579fff225d1421227d616d8c.png

Etebo is a replacement for Zeneli the Nigerian has the potential to become a class inside forward if he can adapt from his usual right wing role.

9bcee68700b3f6489fda22d69b627da3.png

Fantastic mental attributes and his technical and physicals are pretty good also. Long shots need work for his new role.

Montes we splashed the cash on a deal worth up to Ā£16 million depending on appearances both club and international. A technically gifted Ball Playing Defender hopefully long term partner of Kik Pierie.

764177b913a3f37fc24fcce64a0af0c6.png

Look at that technique the exact type of centre back we need with our style of play. Low aggression could become a bit of a worry but am hoping with his high Positioning, anticipation, concentration and pace he will read the game well and not need to use aggression.

491840ded96136294bc7520084f6b55f.png

Rhian Brewster came in on loan till the end of the season as Jakub Wrzesniak is on loan at NEC. Just cover in case we lose Carneiro or Haland.

1115142709_news4.thumb.png.c329c227bd0798cf7cdf92065a831abd.png

Academy watch today as we see a new group of youngsters join the under 19's

52f2bf3c911f0cc90cce2e92189eab39.png

We see our first player join from affiliate club Karlsruhe in Germany. Iddo Roscher reckons Bas Diemers is the best to come through.

c535dc5a41f211fc546cd1a4a26cc466.jpg

Good intake but not quite a golden generation as off yet. Considering Iddo Roscher as my HOYD with the facilities I may step it up a notch try get that golden generation.

The players just a little note I took these screenshots after a month to see how development went before we made a decisionĀ 

db7cfa605ef1f6f1f41b90715e22b199.png

Jeffery is pick of the bunch for me personally has a nice attribute spread for a 15 year old some stand out stats with the right work could well become a player.

d5431bfa4a0d76cb117f7745b6f82852.png

Thomas Noppert looks like he has serious potential could well become a first team mezzala he definitely has the determination to make it.

366495110311ff3d21193fbb0de36714.png

Bas Diemers Iddo's top choice nice to see he is a natural sweeper keeper maybe with work he can become at least a back up.

We return from the winter break and we are straight into a Noorden Derby

1b57f37c8c3c3f3f290ae2cb4aa1ba8b.png

1907b8d3279debf22ec57177b66c3f7e.jpg

Ā A drab match all in all but we come away with the 3 points and that's the most important thing at the end of the day.

ff45fbf96de97eeea4e020869b0b1cff.png

The next 5 games very mixed a decent results at home to Ajax and FC Utrecht and a nice away with against excelsior. Then two very bad 0-0 draws on the road one in the Friese derby and another against Go Ahead both relegation battlers more proof we just aren't clicking on the road.

8bfb49af066e3a9786ddc3e6841cf99b.png

e45a5d35885449d1773f241f4e7ca88d.jpgWhat a contest not much in terms of good defending going on. That man Xadas again running the show he really is softening the blow of losing Odegaard at the end of the season he a like for like replacement.

7d5c2c4665f470cfb44c88574083ab77.png

Man of the match performances with 4 clear cut chances created and the opening goal.

4f0d201e63fdd0f757980a2be4bfc072.gif

Xadas finishes off a nicely worked team move our passing really is something else at times there is another 10 passes out from the back before this clip.

259e45dd57179fd7518f479cfc07e80c.png

Unbeaten again in the next 6 games a 4-0 drubbing of PEC Zwolle in there as well. NEC is a good point as they have been good this season. Sparta is a poor point.

b6d95bc80696dbbcd5dc292e9124885a.png

2979d7cb521de49f823ab5f7070af1b9.jpg

A smashing result specially with young Smeekes and Tahboun in the middle in the park. The Abe Lenstra Stadion was rocking! All round a sublime performance not a bad player on the park.

ed4c29c66fb561200c7d44f8ce75b902.png

Ā The results on a whole make for great reading as well as we go unbeaten in 17 games in total now with 4 games left to play. Again some silly draws in there which may dent our title hopes in the end.

aa7774b6eae8ea6314011500a07e3e0d.png

4 Games to go and its tight in the race for Europe I cant see us catching Ajax maybe PSV but I think we are really fighting it out for 3rd place and the final automatic European slot. What a league its been very competitive. AZ, NEC and Vitesse have joined us and the big three long may it continue.

a003ba58d51f993c373061fbaeaf706d.png

Our final 4 fixtures see us travel to PSV and AZ followed by Vitesse at home 3 make or break games in terms of the season. We finished up with Roda JC at home but if we don't win our earlier games it might be a nothing match.

great signings. Great run of form as well. I'm hoping Etobo does the business for you.

Thanks mate. Heā€™s abit inconsistent as it stands but heā€™s still learning the new position so giving him the benefit of the doubt.Ā

The Business End

a003ba58d51f993c373061fbaeaf706d.png

Four games to go and there is a lot a stake. We go up against 2nd place PSV at the Philips Stadion then 6th place AZ in Alkmaar and then Welcome 3rd place Vitesse to the Abe Lenstra Stadion. Roda JC is the last regular season game which could have a lot riding on it as they look to survive relegation as well.

ff4a1c72307d3d6d64c813c0a586b086.png

A major result in the Philips Stadion its keep our faint Eredivisie title hopes.

da33d81f6dcb758c7e51ca3e7e079473.jpg

A very good performance without being spectacular. The penalty in truth swung the game as it was even until the despite us dominating the ball. On to AZ in Alkmaar.

284562b5666212ed8a39f83da32dbba7.png

Title dreams are over after a very poor opening 10 minutes in fact terrible first half showing. We changed it up and battled back in the second half to rescue a point which does send us above Vitesse into 3rd.

d415b6109135a118b92488778fe509ac.jpg

Both sides had standout performers Mathew walks away with the man of the match but I could easily been Garcia of AZ or Carneiro both got themselves brace.

b86dca0be4b97fb7d6065bf8d4448db9.png

Very balanced we dominated the ball but AZ created chance after chance on the break. What a game!

017afbf2b285ca3504364a33ddecd677.png

64ee74b8b1a8cbd4fc0fc8b5c7a83f52.png

Both teams passed the ball well both similar set ups. Both teams created a abundance of chances as well could easily have been even more goals.

6c9e60a4666f62bc906e76b78118b24f.gif

The equaliser Schaars starts it off Xadas threads it nicely and Carneiro finishes it off typical team move love it! Onto Vitesse at the Abe Lenstra Stadion.

fbe69020f70c0c177d96d1bdfa53531c.png

A masterclass from Odegaard 3 assists in his final game for The Veen and he done it in front of the Lenstra faithful.

We caught up with Martin Odegaard himself.

Martin man of the match today how much have you enjoyed your time in the north of Holland?

"Its been fantastic I have enjoyed every minute of it I have learnt loads here and I feel my game has came on leaps and bounds the manager has a lot to do with that in my new role"

"and these fans I have to thank them from the bottom of my heart they have been fantastic I hope I have repaid them with there performances and I wish the club all the best"

4b35627e3ae83250a46d6d50b684571f.jpg

Superb performance from the boys only a defeat at Roda JC can knock us out of 3rd now!

c88f40a34cb964f80d0005f0aa176a19.gif

Schaars smashes in from the edge of the area in what could be the last goal for him as he bows out and retires what a hit!

f6ad9f5730233d9a4e41ac4068cfaba1.png

Job done our home form has pulled us through! The Abe Lenstra Stadion really has became a fortress! Schaars bows out with a goal!

2ed385452e7a39fce7fbb28e5cf8a4b5.jpg

Solid all round again from the boys Montes settling in now Haland on the goal trail Xadas is ready to take over the Odegaard role.

07d3c1bd9bb393a5f795baa0605b9fa3.gif

Schaars sticks the pen way a fitting way for the captain to bow out

Schaars.thumb.jpg.45f8222861f63f54d1cb5c1b5f89b16c.jpg

Stijn you finish your career on a high with a nice goal in a victory in front of the home fans describe your emotions today?

"Its a very emotional day I have been lucky to play for some great clubs great managers and with great players its been a privilege"

"The last three season captaining Heerenveen has been fantastic and I couldn't think off a better way to finish up. The manager has offered me a coaching role so I will be in around this fantastic club still"

"I would like to thank all the fans they are very special up here in the north"

The Final League Table

3rd place in a very competitive league this season a point off second it was that competitive Feyenoord have missed out on European football! AZ and Vitesse has brilliant seasons along with newly promoted NEC. Our Frisian neighbours SC Cambuur are relegated which isn't to good as I love the derby.

Home Record

4fb97e8ede314716898d7be023dd5199.pngĀ 

Our home record is nothing short of fantastic going unbeaten the whole season and only drawing to games.

Away Record

d0f14e8a19ebb6d41c048a9b6a6f51fb.png

Our away record lets us down far to many draws on the road cost us a shot at the title.

Odegaard fans and young player of the year be sad to see him go. Hidde ter Avest gets signing of the season I can agree with that he has been a rock at right back.

357f260fbb2a3ef468035671f378744a.gif

Goal of the season from Mathew a fine strike but I reckon there was better specially some lovely team moves.

Great end to the season. Looking forward to the next one, but it seems like Odegaard is done?

Thanks mate. He is going back to Real Madrid his loan deal is finished and they want to try him in the first team.Ā 

Xadas is a fine replacement tho!

Season Preview

Having finished 3rd last season we automatically join the Europa League in the group stages meaning no pre season qualifiers am hoping that this will help our early season form.

A big problem we have is we need to replace Schaars who retired and Odegaard who returned to Real Madrid no easy task but Xadas should cover Odegaard. I think if we can hold onto all our players and add a few quality players we can bring home the clubs first Eredivisie. It will be tough to hold onto every especially Pierie we already knocked back big bids.

3ceeb774101d6c68e4e0dd44f19624fa.png

he has 4 years on his deal and the option to extend it a year so ill hold on for now because he is a class act and he hasn't asked to leave.

There were changes in the staff at the club as we branch out from just Dutch nationals in the senior positions.

Ruuuuuuuudddd Not the best of stats has great mental's and who doesn't watch the Dutch goal machine bringing on the youth.

The final big addition sees Iddo Roscher who had delivered some good youth players move on and we bring in a man who has it all.

8832e7d779c5d5643c3154b851f298ba.jpg

An absolute monster of a HOYD been out of work since Santos in 2013 he has phenomenal stats. We made this switch in the hope of him producing a golden generation.

3de32c1773ffec6b808ea86106bdce21.png

The Fixtures are out and we face Feyenoord on the first day foe the second season running tough start followed by another 4 tricky ties we need to start well if we are to win the title this year its a absolute must we cant afford to be chasing Ajax early on.

Nice little boost still have a little room for some more but we will need to push on this season as our season ticket sales stayed the same.

Two major signings arrive from each Madrid club. Great early season business for us.

c262ac4ec80b7504e96f3e5cc034099f.png

Lucas Silva arrives for 2.1million a absolute bargain he is a direct replacement for Schaars and will play in the number 6 role and shirt.

Emiliano VelƔzquez joins on a free transfer what a capture he adds real quality and now gives us 3 great options at centre back which may see us switch to a back 3.

A solid summer from the club lets see what unfolds in pre season

Oh yes! A thread about my favorite club IRL AND you signed Carneiro from Defensor Sporting! He scored so many for me in my Ultimate Football manager game till I had so sell him for around 12mā‚¬.

What I also really like is that your focus on new players is in Scandinavia, just like in real life. We try to buy some young Scandinavian talents which are mostly sold again 2 years later. Also good thing is that you bought the stadium, because the rent is also IRL way to high and put us in debt.Ā 

Good luck! Will follow.

The transfer window slammed shut and we managed to keep a hold of all our players. A massive statement by the club knocking back sum bids of around 12 million for players. I felt if we could hold onto our side and with the players we added we would have a real chance of some much needed silverware.

1390f96dcd786027c4333bb3eb73bd89.png

A fantastic pre season from the boys perfect preparations for the season a head. Massive wins against Juventus and Athletic Bilbao were big highlights. I feel we were aided as well without having European qualifiers it aloud us to mix and test players and tactics gave us a good balance.

A tough Europa League draw Italian giants Roma would be favourites but tough journey to the Russian capital against Spartak and Nice have finished in the top 5 in the last 3 season in a tough French league. A tasty group and one I look forward to.

A home tie in the first round of the KNVB Beker against Semi Professional outfit FC Lienden a trophy I would really like to win this season after coming so close last year.

With the stadium expansion complete we now have a 26,850 capacity. Our Training, Youth and Data faculties are now all at excellent level after all the upgrades were complete. Our junior coaching and Youth recruitment are of a high standard as well. Massive strides of the park from the club.

First Half Of The Season

423b474d494f46db912125298539a49d.png

A flying first half of the season as we only lose once and draw once as we reach the winter break. Was sad to lose our unbeaten home record but we picked ourselves back up and kicked on!

eb9c07174adadfdaef245b689916a9cd.png

Clearly the result thus far in the league season taking 6 off the Dutch giants in a sublime performance.

df59d3d0e33d9b3f0b71f408542b0318.jpg

A 9.9 from Carneiro 4 goals and a assist what a performance another notable performance was from 18 year old Joey Koster his assist for the first goal below was lovely.

c709f4643b59b03f49186b1b4ecdf07d.gif

The reverse pass from the 18 year old is a thing of true beauty and great finish from Carneiro also.

38f386f575cc73d70641c6187ce9a0eb.png

That lovely passing/team shape is still there we really do move the ball lovely at times I wish I could show more extended highlights of some of our play.

8d20d225ada1a2640efaacf4cd9a41fc.png

The league table as we go into the winter break makes great reading. We are running away with it at this stage. We have profited from a poor starts fromĀ  Ajax and PSV losing 5 already. This is ours to throw away and possibly the biggest chance we will have of a Eredivisie as teams look to buy our best players.

1ec98c22a114024c7b498a49e2ee445b.png

We are also doing it the way we want to play. Dominating the ball and passing stats we have scored the most and conceded the least our hard work setting this style of play Is finally paying off.

A superb Europa League group campaign from us. Two absolute hammerings of Roma being the highlights off a unbeaten round.

cd35bac232d35f1ed5cad396c7c0f6f7.png

4-1 win the Olimpico a colossal result dominating the home side from start to finish!

2848fbfbfa87416cebcd3fee82639a69.jpg

A remarkable performance from the boys Roma didn't deserve a goal in all honesty either. Xadas, Silva and Mathew just ran the midfield the whole game. The back 4 was as solid as a rock.

019bc5d947e5c80cb13275aeb9e1885c.gif

Lucas Silva's rocket got the scoring underway this boy can really smash them in!

80fb612e02b73afea3d13184a3579181.png

The Group finished like this Roma being a big shock after being made group favourites. Nice join us in the next round a fair deal as for me they were the best side we came up against.

Ā 

Sorry for a lack of analysis people who have been reading and following I wanted to go into more depth but am due to travel for work again on Monday so wanted to get the update out for everyone I should finish the season when away so will try update when am home in 3 weeks thanks for reading and following hope you are enjoying it as much as I am enjoying playing.

January Window slams shut!

32417495a041ad418c9ba36b92b6ac4c.png

4 Players leave they simply never made the grade the worst being Etebo who I expected big things from but wasn't to be. The main thing is we survived bids on our big players which allows us to keep our charge towards the clubs first Eredivisie title.

21b9466ac7e761fa2f2c7683ff5993a2.png

We keep onto the crown jewel we were offered 20 in the summer so wouldn't make sense to accept this. There was almost late drama in the market.

c124e0fe8db624a45a93ec6a3f11708e.png

Sierhuis a player I have admired for some time nearly arrived but due to another deal we cancelled it. As Carneiro knocked back Benfica after we accepted a 25 million bid.

Van de Beek is a steal at 22 million in my eyes. Ajax lose a key man but invest the money in Bernat who is a class act himself.

We return from the winter break and win 3-0 emphatically at home to FC Utrecht However we lose to our title rivals Ajax at home a tough one to take as we were the better side. A well fought 2-1 win at home coming from behind showed we had lots of character coming from the loss and then to be a goal down. Poor draw in Breda as we squander many chances before we got back to winning ways at home against Excelsior.

a1624aab3edc2da701c2121776b03b4f.png

Very tough one to take specially at home in a game we dominated we don't have the best of records against Ajax since I took charge it has really been our Achilles heel.

da61b0f80c27af10e7a931250b4e3ee8.jpg

Nuno Santos takes man of the match after creating many chances but in truth it wasn't a classic ajax sat in and played on the break with there wing backs proving key.

d34bfa60c22f71c654757c11c7f123b5.png

I have no idea who was in charge of the fixture list here as we face Ajax again and Groningen two weeks on the bounce! Two Noorden derby's in a week followed by a massive trip to PSV Eindhoven who are struggling then we are visited by Basement boys Sparta.

A drab 0-0 in the Amsterdam Arena

1196670863_news4.thumb.png.b158d4588c77bf2ef5da6d0d2184e6da.png

We are bringing you commentary here from the Noordlease Stadion were we are locked in 0-0 Heerenveen have a freekick just on the left deep in injury time. Nuno Santos is over it he clips it to the edge of the box and GOAAAAAAAAL A VICIOUS RIGHT FOOT VOLLEY FROM ERLING HALAND THE HERO!

We slipped up in the return leg a bore draw. But a superb 2-0 win in the Phillips Stadion and then we destroy Sparta at home!

77f6fc6d543a9aca3a10fdba5a6bd979.png

No matter how poor a season they are having by there standards its always going to be a tough trip there so a fantastic result against the Dutch powerhouse.

ddc30170ea6dfbdc5fb44bb3ed0989d7.jpg

Simply outstanding 6-0 at half time!! some remarkable football at times! the only down side is conceding for the first time in 6 games.

8efe8ca523ac7a63b4235fb2c38ec440.png

583fd3c90fd7119c0ee794230acceab1.png

Very proud of this considering we lost Montes and Velazquez for the last 3 games and young Jeffery stepped up looks very comfortable and bagged himself man of the match in the 0-0 Noorden derby very promising future.

After 26 we are miles in front it is ours to throw away but we cant become complacent we need to secure this clubs first title and doing it playing beautiful football. Ajax still pose a threat PSV have had a nothing short of a nightmare. while NEC, Den Haag and FC Utrecht have had profited from a poor PSV and very average Feyenoord and Ajax sides.

e4a83a7a9ecd1df5e1c7f7a19d828e35.jpg

We crash out at the quarter finals we choose to go for a fully rotated squad and blend some youth. I always like the cup but with us going for the title and still in Europe I felt I could rest the players and hope the second side could take care of business wasn't to be.

Bournemouth away in the first round knockout stage. Young Jeffrey makes his Europa league debut giving us a back 4 of 18 18 17 and 22 and all Dutch very pleasing indeed.

07ad7eec72508171f0d076d1d5bbb8fd.jpg

We take the English premiership side to pieces 3-0 away from home in a fantastic display our wide men were simply irresistible. We are in complete control of the tie now taking 3 away goals back to the Abe Lenstra Stadion.

32d00b98cd272928cbcaa5a4e3ef592b.jpg

Another spectacular 3-0 victory dominated the game from start to finish to take the tie 6-0 against premiership opposition shows you how far we have progressed we really look a threat in Europe along with our domestic dominance. The 3rd goal from Valente sums up our footballing style and ability.

6a847b1a93ef15405d3143fe5ed030c7.gif

A lovely triangle from the goalkeeper and centre backs before the ball is played into midfield another lovely triangle of passes in there as well as Valente lays the ball wide to Santos as he then sends it line for Duit he squares it from the bursting midfield run of Valente at the front post who's ran began on the halfway. Sublime football exactly the kind of football a set about creating at the start of this career. The Gif may be to long so therefore slow but I simply couldn't cut it short.

75668cd1282358b3b3f82f07736f01b5.png

Tough draw in Villarreal but we have already proved we are more than capable of taking this scalp. After beating the likes of Roma, Spartak Moscow and Bournemouth home and away so far in the competition.

c0a98c17d2ea7f2eeb47d417597d457a.png

A fantastic cup tie both teams committed and trying to win the game. We definitely leave Spain happy with our two away goals and a promising performance I think we can win this one in the Abe Lenstra Stadion.

da512742726cdfba9a44a59d86871204.jpg

Gonzalo Carneiro turned in a super sub performance bagging a double. His hard work shutting down lead to his first and great movement at the near post the second. Dominating possession in Spain is a phenomenal statistic considering how Spanish sides keep the ball.

80dd02d92d9c3a3a36de9f6fce0470fa.png

Ā We are in the quarter final draw after a fine display in the Abe Lenstra Stadion place was rocking as we brushed Villarreal aside.

9662176cb1abd47420083eb9085ffb46.jpg

A very solid display from the boys done the simple stuff well and it proved its worth as we restricted Villarreal to 3 shots and one on target.

bc183a115ae192b6bc37e9b7739801ae.png

Ā Lucas Silva played "conductor" or number 6 role superbly with a fantastic with 98 completed passes at 97% completion ratio dictating the tempo and controlling the game outstanding.

97db1bb18ec8cb39736884008af5efe3.png

Very tough draw as we face up against the Italian giants but we relish the challenge and fancy ourselves against anyone at the Abe Lenstra Stadion.

The Business End

Our Last 8 Games

d1792677b0c7e138b3219c270c37e5df.png

The first 3 games pose a threat but other than that without being disrespectful the remaining are games we should be winning without a problem with the way we have played this season. The title is well a truly in our own hands only we can throw this away.

077a5b79f130075885af07b6ea1c7769.png

We smash Den Haag on there own patch to end whatever little title chance they had. Simply outclassed them from start to finish.

c958665a46d75d16fb590ec54cf86a8c.jpg

Haland double takes the headlines but Xadas was sensational at times! Great team performance.

f82c488ce360c0e2d9f3667878dd4c06.png

The second string lose to Vitesse as we drop the top team as it was in between the two Villarreal ties. We beat NEC who have been a great side this season. Young Yassin Jamai gets his first senior goal as well.

616cb1ffebf64dcfd79db3365fd55a05.jpg

A 3-1 win at the Abe Lenstra Stadion with John Huisman becoming the youngest player and the youngest goalscorer in the clubs history the first of Moares additions to the first team.

d7918c68df4c72818727e47676a2bdd3.png

Looks the real deal this kid at 15 He gets the goal from the spot but we will bleed him in gently.

Ohh and its in the bag with 4 Games to go! SC Heerenveen Eredivisie champions for the first time ever!

Today we have Thijs De Vries Press Conference

A massive moment in the clubs history how proud are you of your players?

"Am tremendously proud of the boys we have achieved the biggest honour in our domestic game"

People have commentated on the change you have made to club in order to bring this success do you feel you are the main reason behind the success?

"Not at all the board have backed me from the start. My fantastic backroom staff deserve so much credit helping to implement the style of football. but mainly the fans have been patient with the players as they adapted to my style of play and from all that support its allowed us to grow and bring this title home this is purely for the loyal fans"

You mention your Style some people say philosophy do you feel you have now changed this clubs philosophy for years to come?

" I would like to think so I came here with the aim to change the club into a slick footballing side similar to the great Johans ideas and we have done this our football has been simply irresistible at times highest possession most chances most goals its attacking football in its most beautiful form therefore I hope its shaped the club"

d3e7a91fb92f59af01d168ec17b5501f.png

The last 4 games we win in style three 3-0 victories followed by a nice 1-0 with Lucas Silva finishing the season on a high with a lovely finish after returning from a bad injury to feature.

Final Standings

04c8ab45943b5965525d8298ea2f8e30.png

A record breaking season for us with 27 win surpasses the 21 one that was set at the club previously. PSV are the Shock of the season finishing in the bottom half. Great season for FC Utrecht who claim 3rd place N.E.C miss out on European football to AZ and Feyenoord qualify for the Europa through winning the cup.

Stats

485c3e939fe7bc063933a41c855aaa8e.png

Our passing stats are supreme in the league yet again we really do knock the ball around lovely all part of the main aim at the start of this career to win the league with style.

953689fc9970130ea2a16795de46c758.png

845602d01f321baab955f14221434db7.png

We also knock it around with great purpose most chances most shots on target and most goals phenomenal this is a big for me as I did set about setting a style and a aim and these stats back them up am really over the moon.

Eredivisie Awards

e6ce193958a734f941f21c332253f40a.png

Warner Hahn totally deserves it been sensational in goal for us.

379fb810cddf8af3dec3524b4f6da4b8.png

Mr consistent takes the top award plays that mezzala role expertly and rarely has a bad game and absolute baragin from our first window has become a class act.

8aefb4fbc811f1c655479275f9867188.png

Carneiro does well to win topscorer as he went through a dry patch but 17 from 24 is still a great return considering Haland has pushed him for a game.

6dbf313d289b15d10da0b5318e8bcb4c.png

Our very own Julius Duit wins talent of the year delighted as I promoted him to the first team in my very first squad analysis and he's went on to become a star has made a few Dutch squads but yet to get capped.

9648ab104be2fca66cf3b5b45ae801a6.png

How I've been pipped to this is beyond me N.E.C over achieved and Lijnders has done a remarkable job but I delivered the clubs first ever title and broke records at the club rather disappointing my own fault as I voted for Lijnders.

Ā 

The Eredivisie is finished for another year ill be back with a European update asap and final Summary of the season and plans for the future perhaps later tonight. Thanks to everyone reading commenting and following on this thread. Hope you are enjoying it as much as me.Ā
