NAC Coach Carl Hoefkens Anticipates Match Against FC Groningen Amid Snow Concerns

All Eredivisie matches scheduled for Saturday and Sunday are expected to proceed as planned, despite some concerns regarding weather conditions. NAC Breda’s coach, Carl Hoefkens, is hopeful for a bit of snowfall.

As NAC prepares to face FC Groningen, Hoefkens reflects on the team’s winter training. Unlike many competitors, NAC remained in their home country during the winter break. When asked about the training conditions, Hoefkens remarked, “What constitutes normal training?” He emphasized the significance of mental strength in the upcoming match, stating, “In Groningen, mental resilience will be crucial. How resilient can you be? How much physical and mental resistance can you muster? That will be key. I hope for at least five centimeters of snow; that would certainly give us an advantage.”
