Vitesse vs AZ Match Preview
Newly appointed Vitesse coach Albert Ferrer will not start his job at Vitesse before 15 November, but his influence will probably be seen this Sunday already.Together with sc Heerenveen and VVV-Venlo Vitesse were the only Eredivisie outfit playing without the players’ names on the back of their shirt. This week the club announced to change this. Ferrer wants the players names on the back of their shirts because that will give the club a more professional look. However, Vitesse was not sure whether the new shirts would be ready before Sunday’s match against AZ.
AZ’s Graziano Pellè sure hopes that his coach has read the name on the back of his shirt clearly. The Italian striker came on as a substitute in three of AZ’s last four Eredivisie matches and scored in all three matches. Whether this will be a reason for coach Gertjan Verbeek to give Pellè a chance in the starting lineup remains to be seen.
Vitesse vs AZ Match Report
Graziano Pellè came on as a substitute for the fourth time this season and the Italian AZ striker scored for the fourth time. No other player managed to score so many goals as a substitute in the Eredivisie this season. Pellè’s goal was not enough for the win at Vitesse however. Ismail Aissati handed the home team a draw when he beautifully struck a ball in the top corner in the 90th minute.Together with FC Groningen AZ are the only team in the Eredivisie who scored at least one goal in all of their thirteen matches this season, but they did not show much initiative after Pellè’s goal (47’) in Arnhem.
Vitesse were playing poorly when in ball possession and could not really frighten the AZ defense apart from Aissati’s last minute goal. When the newly appointed coach Albert Ferrer wants to play his beloved attacking game in FC Barcelona-style, he’ll have a lot of work to do with the current squad.
