FC Utrecht is celebrating European success: 'The craving is so large'

FC Utrecht Achieved Its Major Goal on Thorsday Evening: A Return to a European Main Tournament. Captain Nick Viergever and Trainer Ron Jans Enjoyed the Joy in the Dom City. “We will get more of more of Those European Nights.”

Since the 1-0 Lead Against Servette FC (2-1 Victory), Viergever Feels Comfortable Enough to occasionally Look at the stands of Stadium Galgenwaard. He sees supporters dancing, Jumping and Clapping and Hears Them Singing “We are going to Europe”. The 36-Year-old Captain Enjoys the Spectacle.

“When I was younger, I was Less Concerned with that on the field,” Says Viergever afterwards. “Now that I am a bit older, I take things in more. After that 1-0 it was played, after the 1-3 Victory in Switzerland. So I Could Enjoy It. When you realize that it is QUITE BEAUTIFUL What is Happening here.”

Viergever Thought Back To The Conversation He had with Jordy Zuidam Before His Transfer to FC Utrecht in 2022. With the technical director, he discussed his goal to finally bring the Dom City Residents Back to a European Main Tournament and to Play European Football. It Didn’t Work for Years.

But this season Viergever is a still making his dream come true. He enjoyed the full stages, the scarves with “uuuropa” on them that are sold and every thing that comes with the European Campaign. “I have tasted the huge craving for European Football in the city and among the fans,” Says Viergever. “It is wonderful that we have given the fans a place in the main tournament.”

Europa League or Conference League

Due to the Victory about Servette, FC Utrecht is assured of a place in a European Main Tournament. With a Win Against Bosnian Zrinjski Mostar in the Last Qualifying Round, FC Utrecht Will Enter the Europa League. In Case of Loss, trainer Ron Jans’ Team Will Play in the Main Tournament of the Conference League.

‘The Confidence Has Grown’

FC Utrecht Achieved Placement For That European Main Tournament by Sovereignry Winning the First Preliminary Rounds. After FC Sheriff, Servette was also relatively hopeless about two duels. That is not necessarily surprising: the team that finished fourth last season has Largely Stayed Together and Has Been supplemented with targeted reinforcements.

Jans Notes That The Belief in Their Own Abilities Grows With His Team Every Week. “I see the Team Taking Steps. We have created a culture in which the atmosphere is good, but we also because and must perform with each other. It is nice that yields results.”

How Different It was two years ago, when Jans Tok Office in Utrecht. At that time, The Club had Zero Points after Four League Games and There Were Even Letter Fears of Relegation. Jans pushed the club up step by step, just as he also put pec zwolle and fc twente to his hand.

Now FC Utrecht is again a respected sub-topper in the Netherlands, which can also have European Impact. It makes Jans Loved in the Dom City. Utrecht fans Jokingly Renamed the Janskerkhof in Utrecht to the Ron Janskerkhof Earlier This Week. Jans was also Sung to Again on Thursday.

“Everyone sees the optimism that prevails now, but it is only August 14. We still have to go through to May,” Says Jans Laughing. “There are also really going to be lesser moments. But this is certainly nice. It has a very long since fc Utrecht was in the group stage (it is the competition phase, ed.).”

Record Looms for Viergever

Viergever Played in European Main Tournaments As a Player of AZ, Ajax and PSV and Knows What That Experience Can Bring To A Team. “European Football Will Make Us Even Better,” Says the Captain. “If only because it is Physically Heavier than in the Eredivisie. Playing all Those Midweek Matches Under High Resistance Will Give You More Muscle Mass.”

“Furthermore, it is Anyway nice that we can experience this European Adventure Together. It has so many Beautiful aspects. From my boys (His children, ed.) Who are going to watch the draw becous whore whore -to -to -to -live boy boys -rays -to -to -live boy boys -to -to -live boy boys -rays -to -live boy boy boys -to -to -live boy boys -to -to -live boy boys -rays -to -to -live Experience this: All very beautiful. “

There is just a special touch for Viergever. If he participates in Seven of the Eight Guaranteed European Matches of FC Utrecht, he will take over the first place from Luuk de Jong on the list of players with the most European Matches for a Dutch Club.

“I already recurred an app from my uncle. He keeps track of that,” Says Viergever Laughing. And SeriOutly: “These are nice statistics, but nothing more. I am a special Happy that we have managed it. This is the reason I come to Utrecht. Even more of the European Nights …. that’s what you do it for as a footballer.”
