With that, the coach was obviously referring to the Champions League match in Lisbon, one that had taken an enormous amount of strength. 'Then it is a challenge to play another difficult away game four days later at 12:15. But we played very maturely. We focused solely on what was asked today and were not concerned with other things.'

According to Priske, in Utrecht it was important to get through the opening phase well. 'That worked and after that we took control and didn't give it away. We dominated here and hardly gave away a chance to FC Utrecht. This way the confidence and belief in each other grows.'

The downside to the third win in a week was the loss of Quinten Timber in the absolute closing stages. The captain had too much pain in his ankle to finish the game. Priske: 'I hope it is not that serious, but we have to wait for tomorrow's reaction. In addition, I hope Ayase Ueda can make it to Wednesday's game against Ajax.'
