NEC manager Dick Schreuder previewed Thursday's Europa League opener at Juventus with a nostalgic nod to his playing days, recalling his admiration for the Bianconeri when Edgard Davids was at the club. He acknowledged NEC's poor recent form but insisted the team's training has been solid and that focusing on mistakes serves no purpose.
Schreuder drew a parallel between NEC's defeat and Juventus's loss to Sassuolo, suggesting both sides fell below their usual standards. Defender Perr Schuurs, who spent four years in Italy with Torino, said he is ready for the challenge and views the match as an opportunity to showcase his quality at the Allianz Stadium.
