Schreuder believes that the first 30 minutes of the match will be crucial for NEC, and if they can navigate this period successfully, they will be able to play well in the match. He is aware that Bodø/Glimt's home stadium in Norway has proven to be a challenging venue for top teams, with Manchester City and Internazionale both suffering defeats to the Norwegian side last season. However, Schreuder does not think that the artificial turf will be a major issue for NEC.
The Champions League anthem will be played before the play-off matches, which will be a special moment for the NEC players and fans. Schreuder hopes that the team will be able to enjoy this moment and give their all in the match. The NEC captain, Tjaronn Chery, is also looking forward to the play-offs and believes that the team will be able to handle the changes that come with playing in the Champions League.
The match against Bodø/Glimt will take place on Wednesday and next week in Norway.
