Joseph Oosting was satisfied with Go Ahead Eagles' triumph against Telstar, this Friday night, in Deventer, a few days after the heavy 4-1 defeat at IJsselderby against PEC Zwolle. For the Dutch coach, the team gave the required response, even though it was far from its best football, and found its way back to victory. "I'm very happy with the victory, even though we didn't play exuberantly," he said in the aftermath. "I was curious to see the reaction after last week, because this result came as a surprise. We reacted. Without really playing well, but we were effective."
Despite the triumph, Oosting did not ignore the repairs to be made, especially in the defensive moment. Go Ahead controlled much of the game and didn't allow the opponent many opportunities, but still ended up conceding two goals – a detail that the coach classified as a stain on a mostly positive night. "We really wanted to keep the goal to zero today, but it didn't happen. The 2-1 came from a long ball, in which Melle headed and, after a rebound and our goalkeeper, the ball fell to Owusu, who finished."
At a time when his team retreated excessively, Oosting tried to react from the bench. "At that stage we played too much behind, so we reacted with substitutions", he explained. The management of the result took on a nervous tone in the last minute, when Telstar reduced it to 3-2 with just thirty seconds to play. "I thought for a moment: it couldn't be? We didn't deserve it, but we ended up in that situation", he confided, highlighting the ability of Deventer's team to hold the advantage until the final whistle.
The triumph comes at the right time to stop the wound opened by the defeat in the IJssel derby and regain confidence before the next official match. On Tuesday, Go Ahead Eagles return to the competition when they visit Koninklijke HFC, in a KNVB Cup game. "We're going to prepare again and we really want to move forward in the competition. It's not easy to face a team from the Tweede Divisie, because, in general, they always have good players and a good game idea. From Saturday onwards, the focus will shift to HFC", pointed out Oosting, already projecting the challenge to be eliminated.
Without major risks in the opponent's offensive plan for long periods, the night ended up highlighting two traits that Oosting will want to consolidate: greater defensive solidity – to avoid suffering from direct plays and second balls – and the effectiveness shown in the opportunities created. The victory, even if by the smallest margin and with a final scare, fulfills the essential: it brings spirit back to the locker room and allows us to prepare for the trip to the KNVB Cup with greater peace of mind.
What happens next
With victory in mind, Go Ahead Eagles now prepare for their next challenge in the KNVB Cup against Koninklijke HFC. The team should focus on improving its defensive solidity to avoid similar mistakes, especially in critical moments of the game. Performance in the Cup will be vital for the continuity of the season and for building a good campaign in the Eredivisie.
