Rick Dekker experienced a dramatic substitution Friday evening on behalf of De Graafschap against Young AZ (1-1). The 25-year-old midfielder came in after 66 minutes as the replacement for Danny Verbeek and was taken to the side 20 minutes later by Mike Snoei. The trainer was so dissatisfied with the substitution of the ex-player of PEC Zwolle that he replaced him for Camiel Neghli just before the end of the match. Snoei found Dekker ‘terrible’ ideas and afterwards explained why he opted for the painful procedure.

Dekker came within the lines with a 1-0 lead. Ten minutes before time, Tijs Velthuis signed for the equalizer on behalf of the visitors from Alkmaar. When losing points threatened Snoei Dekker decided to switch. “He even shoots a ball over the sidelines twice. Yes, that is not right. You also have to be focused when you step in ”, Snoei said in conversation with ESPN. “It is not only up to Rick Dekker, but at that time he adds little. And we needed an extra attacker, so we turn it around again. ”

Prune is very disappointed with the loss of points in the Kitchen Champion Division. He expressed all his concerns before the game by indicating that his selection had not trained properly on Thursday. “We had a total offday”, said the coach, who saw a run of seven wins in a row interrupted at De Vijverberg. “We were very sloppy and suffered a lot of ball loss. We could have won in an ugly way if Jesse Schuurman made the 2-0 just after half time. And to make matters worse, AZ scores from a restart, while they barely have any length in the team. “
