sport">It was already known that things did not always go smoothly between the technical staff and the players. After the lost league match at SC Heerenveen, Lawyer was about to pack his bags. “Then Dick said: this is no use, it is my way, otherwise I will stop,” said Pot in the podcast Dick For each other from WE.
sport">“That went on for a while and at one point it turned out well in the end. He eventually wanted to continue. You can’t always walk away. He had already packed his things. That’s how he was in it ”, says Pot. “We convinced him and responded to his feelings. Then he had no tears, but he was down. That was also after that match at Ajax. Then a few things happened in the dressing room, with Leroy Fer. ”

Leroy Fer
sport">„In half time Fer went completely crazy, Dick then said something and left. He was so upset, I’ve never seen him like this. Leroy was completely devastated, but then called Dick several times and apologized, so he resolved that well. But there was something broken with Dick, after that moment. That was a very important moment. ”
‘Kökcü hit Berghuis in the face’
sport">There was also friction between captain Steven Berghuis and Advocaat. “He is a winner, who trains and plays football on the cutting edge in all respects. That caused a lot of irritation. The players group has said nothing about it. We only had a fight once with Orkun Kökcü. He hit him right on the face. It is good for him that he was occasionally put in his place. Other than that, he’s a really nice guy. He is very social. When I had that pulmonary embolism, he was the first to send a message. But it can also get the blood from under your nails. He thought we were better than we really were. When I said something about the players of AZ, he was completely devastated. ”
