Captain Ryan Thomas, interviewed after the match, did not hide his frustration: “It was a failed match. We failed to put pressure on the ball and every time we won it back we made the wrong choices. We lost possession far too quickly and fell into Twente's game. » According to Thomas, the score in favor of Zwolle did not reflect the nature of the match. “We had the chance to lead, but Twente had already taken control and pushed us back into our own half.

The gap with their dynamic performance during the match against Ajax, marked by Sherel Floranus' red card, was notable. This time, PEC Zwolle showed too much haste and nervousness with the ball. “We put energy into defending and recovering but not enough into keeping the ball. We were too messy collectively and at this level that is not forgiving,” sighs Thomas, aware that regularity will have to return quickly if Zwolle wants to aim higher in the Eredivisie.

The success of FC Twente is not in dispute, as the team knew how to impose its rhythm and deprive its opponent of clear chances after the first quarter of an hour. This defeat reminds PEC Zwolle of the importance of consistency in intensity, not only defensively but also in ball management and offensive transitions, to hope to compete in this ever-demanding Dutch championship.
