NEC don't want to dig in at Spartak Moscow
Wednesday 03 December 2008
NEC Nijmegen need three points
from their away game at Spartak Moscow to keep their
prospects of the next round in the UEFA Cup alive.
So the team of Mario Been has no
intentions of digging in the impressive Luzhniki Stadium.
Been will field three forwards
tonight with creative midfielder Lasse Schöne close
behind them.
Just like he did in the first group
game against Dynamo Zagreb Been opts for three 'runners'
up front, meaning that Jhonny van Beukering will start
on the bench.
"When I let Jhon run for 90
minutes on the artificial turf over there I will kill
him," Been explains his choice.
NEC have zero points after two
games where Moscow, managed by former Ajax player Michael
Laudrup, can qualify if they win tonight.
"I think they are a very strong
side," Been said.
"In the Eredivisie they would
easily be in the top six. As we are sixth in the Eredivisie
at the moment so it could be an exciting game."
The Moscow side finished eighth
in the Russian league that has just ended.
Been will have to do without Patrick
Pothuizen, Arek Radomski and Saidi Ntibazonkiza tonight.
Collins John did travel along to
Moscow
Presumable lineup:
Babos; Fernandez, Wisgerhof, Zomer, El Akchaoui, Sibum,
Schöne, Davids, El Kabir, Tshibamba, Bouaouzan
