Last training with Leo, and the team is exhausted. But they have a great respect for Leo and what he has been teaching them these past few days. They were working and trying to perform – but most of them struggled.
The boys presented Leo with a signed Far Post ball, some spirit gear. And after some heartfelt goodbyes, the boys boarded the bus and we headed to Eindhoven to spend some of their parents hard earned money at the PSV Fan Shop.
They spent enough money that the team was invited into the stadium to at least take a look around before boarding the bus to head to Almere Waterwijk for the match.
The boys were going to play with only 11 players as Teddy Turnau’s eyes were irritated, but the boys didn’t blink, they just suited up and tried to come out fresh and see what they could do in their last match.
However, the other team’s strength, numbers, and ability were too much for our tired and weary group, regardless of how brave they were. The boys held Waterwijk to 3-0 in the first half, but the game ended 12-0. A tough pill to swallow for the coach and the boys, but they understood the situation.
The team interaction afterward went well but still showed a tired group. But they devoured the fries & mayonnaise, as well as croquettes (fried meal and meat sticks).
Then back to Amsterdam . And they are all looking forward to a little unwinding in the city with no more training for a while, and time to just enjoy the culture.
