FC Twente captain Robin Pröpper has spoken about the high expectations surrounding the club. He believes the club's growth has led to increased scrutiny, with many opinions being shared about the team. "Twente is gegroeid tot een club waar veel over gesproken wordt en waar veel meningen over worden geventileerd," Pröpper said in an interview with Tubantia. The pressure can be intense, and Pröpper highlighted the challenges of performing well in the early stages of the season. "Iedereen verwacht dat je er meteen staat. Maar in het begin moet alles zich even vormen," he explained. Pröpper also noted that a single match can have a significant impact on the team's fortunes, as seen in their recent match in Bakoe. "Soms kan één wedstrijd de boel omdraaien. En dat is daar gebeurd. We knokten ons terug van een achterstand, liepen eroverheen en stelden daar Europees voetbal veilig tot aan de winterstop." The club has made a strong start to the season, reaching the Conference League group stage and currently sitting fifth after six matches.
