Heerenveen Eredivisie 2025/2026 Preview
Overview: After taking over midway through the campaign after Robin van Persie left for Feyenoord, Robin Veldman now has a full preseason with the Heerenveen squad. Veldman won four and lost four of his games in charge, with the side ending up in ninth. The side were easily handled by AZ in the playoffs, but another return to the post season would be welcomed. Transfers in: Vaclav Sejk (Sparta PRague), Nolhan Courtens (Antwerp), Amourricho van Axel Dongen (Ajax), Maxence Rivera (Dunkerque), Joris van Overeem (Maccabi Tel Aviv), Dylan Vente (Hibernian), Maas Willemsen (De Graafschap), Vasilios Zagaritis (Almere City) Transfers out: Denzel Hall (Rotherham), Melle Witteveen (free), Che Nunnely (free), Danilo Al-Saed (BK Hacken), Amara Conde (Elversberg), Ion Nicolaescu (Maccabi Tel Aviv), Mats Kohlert (Bronby) Key player: Jakob Trenskow Trenskow had a strong first season in the Eredivisie with Heervenveen. The 24-year-old Danish winger grabbed seven goals and three assists, finishing as the sides second leading goal scorer behind Nicolaescu. With the latter now departed, Trenskow will need to contribute both goals and assists for Heerenveen this season. Young player to watch: Nikolai Hopland Another Scandanavian talent, this time for Norway, Hopland had a decent first season in the Eredivisie. In 33 games for Heerenveen he scored twice from central defence. Veldman will hope that he can continue to progress and prove a foundational piece for his defence, one that conceded 57 goals in 34 games last season, the worst in the top 10. Transfer window needs: If Dylan Vente can fire like he did for PEC Zwolle last season, Heervenveen will have found their replacement for Moldovan forward Nicolaescu. If not, they could be struggling for goals upfront. The side have already been active, so like most other Eredivisie sides, they need the new players to settle quickly and have an impact.

Depay kept ‘hungry' after equalling van Persie's scoring record
Memphis Depay has 50 goals in 102 international appearances for the Netherlands. (EPA Images pic) GRONINGEN : Memphis Depay was denied the chance to complete a hattrick today, and take sole possession of the Dutch national team's all-time scoring record in the process, as coach Ronald Koeman said he wanted to keep him hungry for goals. Forward Depay scored twice inside the opening 16 minutes of the Netherlands' 8-0 win over Malta in a World Cup qualifier to equal Robin van Persie's record of 50. Both players have 50 goals in 102 international appearances. 'I equalled van Persie, I am happy with that,' said Depay, who was taken off in the 72nd minute with the Dutch 4-0 up. 'But this is just an interim total. Of course I am also going for 51, 52 and also 53. If I had played longer, I might have scored one more tonight,' he told reporters. 'I didn't say anything about the fact that the coach took me off early. I was already happy that I could do what I've been doing for years… scoring.' Depay scored his first international goal against Australia at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil but it has not always been smooth sailing over the years with the national team. 'We have had some turbulence over the years,' he said. 'There have been many coaches and many players have come and gone. The times have shaped me and made me realise what I want. 'Ultimately, it's important that we're at the World Cup and that we go far.' Koeman has consistently backed Depay over his two spells in charge of the Dutch, even when he struggled with his club form. 'I've always thought Memphis is a great player. I think he deserves a great compliment. He's had a year full of injuries, but he's fit and hungry now,' said Koeman. 'It's great that he didn't score the third, because then he stays hungry,' he quipped on Dutch television.
