Dylan Vente aims for a strong comeback with Heerenveen after one season
By OnzeActu · · 3 min read
Dylan Vente, SC Heerenveen striker, aims to bounce back after a season of adaptation where he did not achieve his goals. Focused on his progress, he says he is ready to turn the page and establish himself as a key element of the Frisian attack.
Arriving last summer from Hibernian, where he was also loaned to PEC Zwolle the previous season, Dylan Vente scored only seven goals in the Eredivisie in the colors of the Frisian club during the past financial year. To this total, we must add a goal in the Dutch Cup and another in the play-offs for a place in the European Cup, a record which leaves the striker wanting more. “It was a season of ups and downs,” he admits bluntly. “I had ups and downs, with an injury and administrative problems, but I clearly lacked realism in front of goal. »

Vente recognizes that he has, at times, played too low on the pitch, favoring the construction of the game to the detriment of his presence in the area. This awareness, following several discussions with his coach, pushed him to finish the season closer to the opponent's goal, where he can really make the difference. “As soon as I refocused on my role as center forward, things returned to order and I finished the season on a better footing,” he confides.
Aware of the expectations surrounding him, Dylan Vente no longer wants to relive such an irregular exercise. He naturally hoped to cross the mark of 15, or even 20 goals, but he now prefers to look forward: “This first season is behind me. Now I feel ready to give it my all and really explode this year. »
The ambition displayed by Vente coincides with the needs of SC Heerenveen, who will have to rely on their striker to aim for a European place in the Eredivisie. With complete physical preparation and newfound determination, the Dutch striker seems determined to turn the page and establish himself as one of the club's major assets next season.
