ADO Den Haag will play in the game against Vitesse on Friday evening in a modified line-up. In recent days, just like earlier this season, some solid group discussions were scheduled, as relegation from the Eredivisie seems inevitable. Trainer Ruud Brood drew his conclusions from this. “I’m going to change my setup, yes,” he tells it Algemeen Dagblad.
“You have to have a certain sense of honor. In this difficult phase we look at players who are willing, ”explains the trainer. “I have made a selection and leave certain players out of the match selection. But I feel that something arose in that group discussion and I am positive about that. ” With six match days to go, ADO is seven points behind in a safe position. In short: Brood’s team must score at least seven points more than VVV-Venlo or Willem II.
Shaquille Pinas sees that more fear has crept into ADO’s selection. “I still feel a certain intrinsic motivation in all my teammates, but some guys may feel fear in their bodies. They are tense and wonder if we can still make it. That makes sense, because in principle we have been written off. But we are not writing ourselves off yet ”, emphasizes the ADO defender.
For the first time this season, ADO has four consecutive Eredivisie defeats. The last time ADO lost five times in a row in one Eredivisie season was in September-October 2019. “Of course you also think about your own future, but that is not in first place for now,” Pinas emphasizes. The defender also has an expiring contract. “But the guys who will no longer be under contract with ADO next year, feel exactly the same as the players who will be held longer. We want to support each other and keep this club in the Eredivisie. ”
