PEC Zwolle hopes for a better performance for the new season

PEC Zwolle began preparations for the 2026/27 season on Sunday and their intentions are clear. 'We are very excited to do better than last year. We clearly have to retaliate. We have had the same situation on the final day in the last two years. If you win, you become tenth. If you lose, you fifteen. Ten in the first year, fifteen last year. It was only a four-point difference, but the feeling is different,' Hamstra said at the VI PRO. 'We did a good job in 28 matches. We had 33 points, which is great. We tried to see the playoffs for European football, but in the last six matches our results and performances have been very poor. There are reasons behind that, because some things should be better, but these six games carry a heavy weight in sentiment over the last 28 games.' "We have also played good matches, but we have reached a low level many times. We lost by big points a few times, but came back again the next week. There is a lot of tolerance in our group. It's just that people remember great defeats. This is also fair, as this was not the line we wanted to see from the PEC.
