Van Rooij has highlighted the improvements made by the team since their European match in Azerbaijan. "I think I was a bit searching for my form at the beginning of the season," he said. "Both in terms of my own form and the interaction with the lads around me." However, he also notes that the core of the squad has remained largely the same. "Since we played Qarabag, we've put together a really nice run of results," Van Rooij continued. "You can see it in the games, but we also notice it as a group during training."
