🟥🟩⬛ We need to talk about NEC Nijmegen — the most entertaining team in Europe.
🇳🇱 Sitting 3rd in Eredivisie, they have scored 74 goals in the league this season. Only four clubs in Europe's big leagues have scored more:
▪️ 105 — Bayern Munich
▪️ 84 — PSV Eindhoven
▪️ 84— Barcelona
▪️ 75 — Inter Milan
They've conceded 48 too, with only the teams in the Eredivisie relegation battle more leaky.
▪️They've scored 3+ goals 13 times.
▪️They conceded 3+ goals 7 times.
🧠 It all comes down to their relentlessly attack-minded coach, Dick Schreuder.
Schreuder plays an ultra-attacking, high-risk, and high-reward style of football, characterised by a very fluid 3-4-2-1 formation that often shifts into a 3-2-5 shape. That's right, 5 up front.
🏆 NEC Nijmegen face AZ Alkmaar in the KNVB Cup Final on Sunday. We cannot wait.
