Nick Olij was in great shape at Sparta in the duel with FC Utrecht in the play-offs. Partly due to eight saves by the goalkeeper, the team from Rotterdam crossed the line in the Domstad 1-2. His teammates are lyrical.
The ‘Olij in Oranje’ sounded from the branch on Thursday. “I totally agree,” Vriends laughs in front of the camera ESPN. “It’s a great goalkeeper for us.” The defender is very impressed by the performance of the 27-year-old closing post. “Every chance Nick knocks out. That’s because he’s awake, sharp and in my opinion one of the best goalkeepers in this country. He makes a strong and reliable impression. He got us through the game in the first phase .”
Sparta coach Maurice Steijn agrees with that praise. “Nick has been in super shape all season. I would have allowed him to go to the Orange. Although I was less involved with it than he was. He has to keep showing it, then his moment will come soon. I also think that he will not look out of place. Only that is up to the national coach. And I think we have a very good one.”
Olive tells Football scoop that he feels good about himself, so that he can achieve these achievements. “In the end, that’s the most important thing. I know I’m a good goalkeeper and I can be important to the team, but it’s about how you are physically and mentally. I’m in a phase of my life right now where I’m super happy with how it goes. At the club, but also at home.”
