FC Utrecht has only managed to win one of their six matches so far, with their latest victory coming in their seventh match. Correia has spoken candidly about the team's struggles, stating that things have "not been easy" in the pre-season. "In the pre-season, it has best been a bit rough," he said. "A certain idea of intensity on the pitch. For everyone, a new coach is new. The idea of playing remains the same, 11 against 11, and you want to win the game," Correia added. "We shouldn't make it too complicated."
