Ron Jans smiled all after a strong first leg victory in Moldova: “I won’t do that tonight!”

FC Utrecht’s manager Ron Jans was smiling after his team won convincingly a delicate match at the Tiraspol sheriff.

FC Utrecht won the first stage in its second round match of UEFA Europa League against Sheriff Tiraspol 3-1 in Nisporeni, which earned them an excellent position for the external leg to Utrecht next week.

The sheriff, which has already played five games in the Super Liga Moldavian, took a better start and took the lead from a long return – something that Jans had said they had prepared. “We trained for that, but they changed their tactics”, “ Jans informed RTV utrecht of the objective they had conceded.

“Before that, there was also an unmarked player in the five-meter area, when a corner was taken. It went well, but this one did not do it.”

Despite the objective of the objective, Jans was satisfied with the performance of his team. “Especially because they have been in competition for five weeks, and we have only been training for five weeks. You couldn’t really see this difference today.”

Managers often minimize their team’s performances in the days that followed the match, but Jans will not do any of this. “A coach is there to mitigate the euphoria, but I’m not going to do it tonight!

“I am convinced that we will finish next week. I don’t want to say that I am still proud, but I’m certainly satisfied.”
