In the third round of the Eerste Divisie, Volendam lost 1-2 to Den Haag. In the first round, they lost 3-4 to Graafschap, and in the second round, they were defeated 0-1 at home by Emmen. As a result, Volendam has lost all three matches of the new season, with a player being sent off in each match. Currently, Volendam sits at the bottom of the league with zero points.
Volendam’s captain, Vermeulen, said ashamedly, “In the first half, we played like little boys against men, which is really frustrating. We played like children fooling around in kindergarten, especially with that red card, it was not smart at all.”
“We could attribute the losses in the first two matches to this, but now we know that it doesn’t really matter much.”
