PEC trainer Stegeman: ‘Not to be hit with tender souls’ | Football

sport">“I don’t have to deal with those delicate souls at all. We play professional football and we only give away presents here tonight ”, Stegeman said angrily at FOX Sports.

sport">Lam, captain of PEC Zwolle in the absence of the injured Bram van Polen, was guilty of the goals of Queensy Menig and Danilo. Shortly after Wout Brama had made Twente’s third goal, Stegeman decided to intervene and change his captain.

sport">“I’ve never experienced this before,” said the trainer. “A statement? I have no idea. I can’t look into someone’s head why someone makes mistakes like this. I don’t think he is doing it on purpose, otherwise we have a really serious problem. You can make such a mistake once, but not twice. Come on, we’re in professional football. This is not PEC Zwolle 6 against FC Twente 6, where you can make mistakes with impunity. I don’t care at all that he’s captain. You don’t expect a player who is a Finnish international to make such mistakes. ”

sport">„I am responsible for the line-up, so apparently I just have to line up other players who don’t make such mistakes. The difficult thing is that I don’t know anything like that in advance. Let me put it this way: when I made the line-up, I did not expect Thomas Lam to be that person. ”
