High Voltage Review (12) Ronald Hess (Vitesse Delft): “There is still a lot of room for improvement”

Vitesse Delft is playing in the second division D this season, and after 11 matches it is in sixth place with 15 points from 11 matches. The pursuers HBSS, Berkel and DHC have four points, but still have one game to play. The difference with the club above Vitesse Delft – SC Monster and VFC – is also four points, but these two clubs also have one more game up their sleeve.

So the clubs below Vitesse Delft are lurking, while the clubs above could be a little further away. How does coach Ronald Hess view the first months of this season? Hess: With the exception of the last two or three matches, I am completely satisfied with the level of play, experience and behaviour. We played excellent games in the cup and in the league as well, but it was very disappointing that we only got one point in our last three games. Another bad point for me was the end with Olivio, where we wasted two points and the referee apologized after that, but instead of 1-2 it remained 1-1.”

Almost halfway through the competition, Ronald Hess, who will leave Tanthof-Zuid after this season, has to conclude: “We are certainly not on schedule now, but there is no room for adjustment yet. The goal is to finish the season in the top four (which is certainly a period “Knowing that Westlandia can only be relegated and promoted to the second tier, and therefore not really playing for anything, would give extra space. We are now in sixth place and there is a lot of room for improvement.”

Hess: “We start preparing for the club on January 4th, then the New Year’s match on the 6th, January 13th we play against Velo, January 20th a competitive match, January 25th we leave for Portugal where Peter van Veen lives now to play a match there to play against a local team and train. We will return on 28. Going to a training camp during this period will save the club a lot of money.”
