Vis wants to leave Laren on a good note: 'I've had so much support here'

It was his last match in front of his own Laren audience. And what kind. Thomas Vis (31) went through a rollercoaster with his team in the play-outs against Tilburg. The people from Brabant won on Saturday with a 3-4 victory. Vis obviously only wants to leave his club, which helped him through difficult times, in one way. With a place in the big league.

It is a few minutes after the chaotic first meeting between Laren and Tilburg. One in which Laren saw a 3-2 lead turn into a 3-4 defeat in the last five minutes. The veteran wants to stretch on the mini field behind the main field. Before the cool-down can begin, he is approached by a mother with a teenager. He is given a bottle of drink and a map, which he quickly looks at.

Vis saw that Laren - perhaps also due to Vos' sad retreat - started weakly. 'After that we put more pressure on their defense. The second and third quarters were good. But then we unconsciously let it go. Due to the absence of Pelle, we only had four midfielders today. It was very hectic. It ping-ponged up and down a lot. We are not the best team in that game. We need structure.'
