The Domstedelingen's poor start to the season has raised concerns, with coach Anthony Correia admitting that he is "shamed" by the result. "We gave up, threw in the towel," said Correia. "PSV just ran over us." The team's struggles have been compounded by their inability to score, with only one attempt on goal against PSV. They also had just four ball contacts in the opponent's penalty area.
Correia has acknowledged that the pressure is greater at FC Utrecht than at his previous club Telstar. "I always feel pressure, because I put it on myself," he said. The coach is determined to turn things around, stating that "we are working on a process." He has also identified the team's mental resilience as an area for improvement, saying that they "fall apart" as the game progresses.
The club's poor start has been compared to their performance in the 2023/2024 season, when they started with zero points after four matches. However, Correia remains optimistic, saying that "this could be a very successful season." The team's next match is yet to be confirmed, but they will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing start.
