Vaessen's Clever Save Stuns Fans
Impressive Goalkeeping Move
During the Eredivisie match, goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen made a notable save that caught everyone's attention. He used a clever tactic he learned from playing FIFA with his son. Vaessen explained that he anticipated a cross from NAC Breda's Boy Kemper, who was charging down the left side.
Strategic Thinking on the Field
As Kemper approached, Vaessen stepped out of his goal, making it seem like he was ready for a cross. When Kemper took his shot, Vaessen quickly returned to make the save. "I baited him," Vaessen said, referring to his strategy during the play. He was aware of Sydney van Hooijdonk being in front of the goal, which influenced his decision to act.
Cold Conditions and Match Experience
The match took place in chilly conditions at Euroborg, and Vaessen admitted he would have preferred to skip the game due to the cold. He expressed disappointment that the team only earned one point, stating, "We should win at home against NAC." Despite the weather, the match was significant for both teams, with Ayew making his debut.
Future with Suriname National Team
After the match, Vaessen discussed his recent conversations with Henk ten Cate, the new national coach of Suriname. He expressed optimism about the team's chances to qualify for the World Cup playoffs in March. Vaessen is excited about the potential addition of new players, including striker Joël Piroe from Leeds United, and is eager to contribute to the team's success.
