According to NEC trainer Dick Schreuder, when Marcel Boekhoorn enters the locker room, the players only talk about money. The players had asked Boekhoorn to pay bonuses after their win, but he restrained himself from doing so. Schreuder believes that Boekhoorn made the right decision, as the players need to win their next match first.
The players' focus on money is not surprising, given the financial implications of their Champions League campaign. NEC's participation in the competition has likely brought in significant revenue, and the players are likely eager to capitalize on this. However, Schreuder's comments suggest that the players' priorities may be out of line with the team's overall goals.
The NEC players will have the opportunity to prove themselves in their next match, and it remains to be seen whether they can put their focus on the game rather than the money.
