According to Voetbal International, Schreuder was not fully satisfied with NEC's performance, particularly in the first half. He stated that the team needs to improve their understanding of the game from the start of a match. "If you've been here for a month or four, then it's time to start understanding this from the beginning of a game," Schreuder said.
Schreuder highlighted NEC's poor performance in the first half, where they were sloppy in possession, created few chances, and allowed Omonia to become a threat through counter-attacks. He also pointed out that the team's 0-1 deficit was a result of a mistake in defending.
The trainer emphasized the need for NEC to improve their positional play, ball control, and risk-taking in the game. He suggested that the team should switch positions more quickly and take more risks by playing the ball forward more often. Schreuder praised the team's second-half performance, which saw them score three goals, but stressed that they need to maintain this level of performance throughout the game.
The next step for NEC will be to address their first-half performance and work on improving their overall game.
