Noa Lang played another thumping game and was once again decisive with two assists. The young Dutchman is instructed by coach Clement to roam the pitch to find the free spaces.
"I get that freedom from the coach. I just have to find my own spaces, that's when I'm at my best. I'm not the player who stays on the side, I just have to be able to roam the field. That's when my qualities come out the most. The first twenty minutes we were really in control. We just had to make that 2-0, but out of nowhere we were suddenly 1-2 behind. They were just in front of the goal twice and the leather went in twice. The rest of the first half we kept control and we were on top. With one of their strikers like that, it's also just hard to defend. At halftime we told each other to just keep going as we did in the first half. And not to let our heads drop. We showed that in the second half, that we really are unity."
Noa Lang was surprised by his distance covered in this match. "Twelve kilometers? You saw that at the end. It has to be even better. I felt my calf since the seventieth minute. I'm glad I completed the ninety minutes. That doesn't happen every week either. I do feel I'm getting stronger by the week." (KN)
