Valentijn Driessen does not understand that Jordy Zuidam still gains confidence at FC Utrecht. The technical man once again gained power over the wallet of owner Frans van Seumeren in the Dom city and did not let that pass unnoticed. Bas Dost, Luuk Brouwers and Nick Viergever, among others, were tempted to transfer to Stadion Galgenwaard. “You would just suspect that he knows something about Van Seumeren”, Driessen writes in his column in The Telegraph.

“Again, there is no line to be found in the purchase policy, which makes it fear the worst for the fifth season in a row,” Driessen writes. FC Utrecht has fallen in the Eredivisie rankings in recent years and finished sixth three times in succession. Last season, the team even finished seventh. “In order to crush expectations, the target has been adjusted to a place in the top 6. It is therefore incomprehensible that Van Seumeren Zuidam keeps his hand above his head and continues to give him carte blanche on the transfer market. he knows something about Van Seumeren.”

Driessen believes that Zuidam is shooting with hail. “One year he opts for young and talented, then again for old and experienced, then again for failures from the top-4 or promising players from the sub-top, often the same type of players for the same position. Two seasons ago the club even announced a attack on the top 3. Without success and FC Utrecht finished in sixth place after the umpteenth colorless season. , Feyenoord and AZ.”

The departure of Henk Veerman is also significant, according to the football chief. The tall striker announced his return to FC Volendam this week and is thus waving Utrecht off after six months. “Veerman has left for Volendam and the umpteenth striker from Zuidam who has meant nothing to the club after Balk, Dalmau, Kramer, Bahebeck and Makienok. In time, Mahi, Douvikas and Sylla will also join this list. This season will therefore be over. or underneath for director of football affairs Jordy Zuidam,” Driessen predicts.
