Vitesse prominents Theo Janssen, John van den Brom and Karel Aalbers are eagerly waiting for their club to exist. The judge will rule on Friday at 3 p.m. During the Thursday session, the emotions shot in all directions.
It was as if the history of 133-year-old Vitesse ran through the court in Utrecht on Thursday. All club prominents were present, from Edward Sturing to Aalbers, from Van den Brom to Janssen and from Nicky Hofs to television personality and supporter Marcel van Roosmalen.
With death in the eyes, Vitesse was a unity. Hundreds of supporters, players, trainers and icons had traveled to Utrecht to follow the lawsuit up close. Many fans had to wait outside, because there was room in court for a maximum of 200 people. As far as we know there were no incidents.
There was no clarity during the nearly three -hour session. Yet Janssen had been banging in court, he told NU.nl afterwards, among others. The former midfielder had “very disturbed” on the attitude of the KNVB. “It looks like it doesn’t do anything the KNVB,” he said.
“In Japan they say that you have to be very economical on something older than a hundred years. We just demolish it here. They can actually be completely right and make a choice that is not mine, but then do that with a little feeling. I didn’t get that feeling once today.”
Aalbers breaks when he talks about Vitesse
At Aalbers, the striking former chairman who was at the basis of the rise and fall of Vitesse from 1989 to 2000, the emotions “went in all directions”. When the hopeless situation of the club was discussed, his voice broke.
“It touches me emotionally. We started with 500 people on monk houses, but now that whole city is moving. There were fifteen thousand people in the stands last season, while we were at the bottom in the first division. That is fantastic. Then something has been achieved in the city. This should not be lost.”
Aalbers also wondered aloud how Vitesse was able to fall so deeply. The 76-year-old former chairman remained in the background lately. “I am an old man. I am happy to give sounding boards and advice, but other people have to do it. I don’t feel like becoming Joe Biden number two.”
According to Aalbers, the KNVB has gone through with the rules. “I myself have been at the basis of the licensing system, so that clubs that started the competition could also complete the season. At the moment there is completely ignoring. Give the regional people the opportunity to prove themselves. I am annoyed.”
Aalbers feels that football is not bored with Vitesse. “I called Ronald Koeman, Ruud Gullit, Guus Hiddink and Dick Advocaat all for a signature with an advertisement in the newspaper. It is heartwarming that they wanted to do it. Even Ronald said Vitesse should continue to exist. He is not only our former trainer, but also a national coach. That says something.”
Lawyer Vitesse has ‘good feeling’
One of the two lawyers of Vitesse, Berry van Drunen, had a “good feeling” left at the session. “I was impressed by the degree of knowledge of the judge and the clerk. It is not possible to read a file of nearly 1,500 pages in a few days. We were able to present what we wanted. I never talk in opportunities in scenarios. There are so many judges and so many opinions.”
Van den Brom has been sleeping badly for week
Club icon Van den Brom was one of them. He was received as a hero before and after the court case by the fans. “I have been sleeping badly all week of this lawsuit. Vitesse is not only my club, it is so much more than that. It is part of my life. I have been connected to the club for forty years and I have been thanks to the club so much. That is why I had to be here too.”
Van den Brom acknowledges that “stupid and wrong” decisions have been made in the past. He was a trainer in Arnhem last season. “The people who did that can definitely charge that. But you can’t do anything with that now.”
That is why Van den Brom found that the lawyer hit the right string on behalf of the supporters of Vitesse. She told what the impact of the disappearance of Vitesse would have on fans, volunteers and the city of Arnhem (see video below). “Everyone I spoke then got a lump in his throat.”
It will be nerve -racking hours towards the judge’s decision, says Van den Brom. “This process goes beyond my cap. I am stubborn and think I know about everything, but not. I can’t say much about it. I hope the judge can also look ahead. Then Vitesse will certainly still live.”
Janssen has a barbecue with friends and acquaintances on Friday at 3.30 pm, just after the statement becomes known. “Those are also Vitesse supporters. We’ll hear it. Yes, there can be a mourning mood, but then we will drink an extra beer.”
