NEC's technical staff, including trainer Dick Schreuder, are focusing on improving the team's attacking play to turn their fortunes around in the Eredivisie. The team is currently on a four-point haul from three matches and is gearing up for their next Europa League home match against Omonia Nicosia. Schreuder believes that a combination of patience and quality is key to their success.

The press conference before the match against Omonia Nicosia was dominated by discussions about the death of Jesús de Miguel, who worked with Schreuder and part of the current technical staff at Castellón. Schreuder emphasized that the team must continue to work despite the impact of de Miguel's passing on those who worked with him in Spain.

NEC will face Omonia Nicosia in their next Europa League match, with the Cypriot team having two points more than NEC after their wins over Celta de Vigo and NK Celje.
