Head coach of AZ Liroji Echteld shared his thoughts before the match against Shakhtar in the quarterfinals of the Conference League.

The Dutch club is trying to make a comeback after a 0:3 defeat in the first match, but the coach knows that the team is already thinking about the week-long Dutch Cup final.

Echteld confirmed that forward Troy Parrott is taking the lead, and Mex Meerdink will be in the attacking role. Also, retired player Jordi Klassi, who is recovering from an injury, will not play in the match..

" “It’s possible,” said Echteld.

At the same time, the coaching staff is preparing for the upcoming Dutch Cup final against NEC Nijmegen, which could become the key match of the season:.

" We don’t want to go to the final tired,” added the coach.

Around the local media, they are discussing the future of Echteld himself, but we are saying that there are a lot of concerns about the streaming season.
