If a trainer makes a goalkeeper change during the season that is executed incorrectly, the situation is often over. If a trainer changes his closing post during a match without success. Andries Noppert was on the wrong side of a very special cup story on Thursday evening and afterwards raised his hands.
It should have given SC Heerenveen the boost to get the match over the line. About ten minutes before the end, with a 1-2 lead against visiting Quick Boys, Robin van Persie decided to take his goalkeeper Mickey van der Hart to the side and bring on Noppert.
A few minutes later, the goalkeeper scored a penalty, Quick Boys made it 2-2 from eleven meters and both teams headed for extra time. To make matters worse, Noppert made another mistake, leading to the amateur team’s winning 3-2.
The fact that he came on for Van der Hart did not come entirely out of the blue for the main character in the matter. “The trainer calls you and this was in advance… You certainly discuss certain scenarios. It is something that can happen and it happens this match. So it is not a complete surprise, I must say,” said a disappointed Noppert. the camera of ESPN out after the debacle.
-“If a team starts playing long balls, you can be dominant and lead. That didn’t happen very well today,” the man who is linked to a transfer to the Argentinian San Lorenzo said about the penalty he caused. “Then you arrive at a crucial moment, giving Quick Boys wings again. Then you should be ashamed and so am I.”
“I’m ashamed anyway. This happens to me. I’m in a sliding motion, then you have to put your hand somewhere. I then apparently put it somewhere on his foot and then it’s a penalty,” Noppert explained how the violation prior to the 2-2 was scored.
“It was crucial for this match, because you are out of the cup. In my view, this is really unacceptable. From myself first,” concluded the visibly disappointed goalkeeper.
