Andries Noppert is no Longer the First Goalkeeper of SC Heerenveen After the International Break. The Five-Time Oranje International is Replaced by the Nineteen-Year-Old Bernt Klaverboer.
Heerenveen Coach Robin Veldman Confirmed the Change Under The Bar on Wednesday Afternoon After the Practice Match Against Go Ahead Eagles. In That Match, Klaverboer Defended the Goal.
Noppert Played the First Matches of the Season, But Could Not Convince Veldman in Them. He made an obvious mistake in the Derby Against FC Groningen (2-1 defeat) and last weekend noppert also Did not Reach the Required Level Against Go Ahead Eagles (2-2).
“It is a drastic choice, but one that we had to make,” Says Veldman to the Leeuwarder Courant . “This was of course an unpleasant announcement for Andries. But he took it very professional. He said he respected our choice.”
Klaverboer Made his Debut at the End of Last year in the Cup Match Against ASWH and then Received a Red Card. In Total, he has two matches in Heerenveen’s first team to his name.
Van Persie Passed Noppert Last Season
For noppert, it is not the first time that he loses his place under the bar. Last Season, The Now Departed Micky Van de Hart Started The Season As First Keeper, After which Noppert Replaced Him After Eight Matches. Later in The Season, then trainer Robin van Persie Reversed that Decision.
Yet the 31-year-old Noppert, first goalkeeper Under Louis van Gaal at the 2022 World Cup, finished the Previous Eredivisie Season Under The Bar. That had Everything to Do with an Injury to van der Hart.
Last transfer Period, Heerenveen Added An Extra goalkeeper to the Goalkeeping Guild with Nordin Bakker. The 27-year-old goalkeeper was transfer-free after his departure from Almere City and Signed A contract for Two Seasons in The Abe Lenstra Stadium.
Heerenveen has not won a match in the first four rounds of this season and is second to last in the Eredivisie with Two Points. The Next Match is on September 13 Against Feyenoord. Klaverboer Will Therefore Make His Appearance in De Kuip.
