The team's good football has been met with enthusiasm from the fans, who have been giving players like Soren Tengstedt and Melle Meulensteen plenty of praise. "The atmosphere is great and the trainer involves everyone in the process," says midfielder Meulensteen. "You can see that it's going well."

The trainer has created a culture where the players, staff, and club members can develop further. He has distributed keychains with the word 'opschaakl'n' on them, a term from the world of motosport. "On a racing motor, you need a gas pedal, clutch, and gearshift. You need all three to go faster," he explains.
