Een onvergetelijk einde

Er zijn bepaalde momenten in je leven waarin je weet dat je iets mee maakt wat je nooit meer zal vergeten. Afgelopen dagen waren van die dagen waarin ik meerdere malen tegen mezelf heb gezegd: ‘Lois, dit weet je over 30 jaar nog’. Dat kan natuurlijk om iets positiefs of iets negatiefs gaan. In dit geval was dit waarschijnlijk beide, maar achteraf kan ik heus wel zeggen dat het een mooie herinnering wordt 🙂

Afgelopen vrijdag vertrokken we om 9 uur ’s ochtends met de bus richting Buducnost voor de tweede kwartfinale van de Champions League. Eigenlijk moesten we al om 8 uur weg, maar echte ochtendmensen dat we zijn wisten we er 9 uur van te maken. Er stond een pittige reis voor de boeg, namelijk 1100 km naar Podgorica. Gelukkig was er veel plek in de bus, want we gingen maar met 11 speelsters 😉 Iedereen genoeg plek om languit te liggen dus. De reis met de bus werd gemaakt vanwege financiële redenen, het weinige aantal speelsters vanwege blessures…

De reis ging vanuit Roemenië, door Hongarije en door Servië, naar Montenegro. Je raadt het dus al: elke keer stilstaan bij de grenzen voor paspoort controle. Al met al kwamen we zaterdag, na een overnachting vrijdagavond in Servië, om 17:30 uur aan in Podgorica. Pittig!

Zaterdagavond hadden we nog een training, namelijk een beetje ladders en een leuk spelletje met het ‘hele’ team. We begonnen op de linkerhoek en wie scoorde ging verder naar de linkeropbouw etc. De sfeer was in ieder geval ontspannen, we hadden niks te verliezen. Zondagavond was het dan zo ver en speelden we de tweede wedstrijd tegen de Champions League winnaar. We speelden goed en stonden met rust zelfs 1 doelpunt voor. Helaas konden we het niet volhouden en waren we aan het eind uitgeschakeld in de Champions League. Maar ik ben zo trots op het team wat er stond. Na moeilijke omstandigheden hebben we het Buducnost nog behoorlijk lastig kunnen maken 🙂

Er staan nog een paar competitiewedstrijden op het programma en nog de beker. Hopelijk kunnen we die prijs wel pakken! En vergeet allemaal niet te stemmen voor het Champions League All-star Team, waarvoor ik genomineerd ben als beste linkeropbouw: Hier kan je stemmen.


An unforgettable end

There are some moments in your life when you experience something and you know that you will never forget that experience. The last couple of days I had this feeling several times and then I’d said to myself: ‘Lois, you will remember this even in 30 years’. This can be something positive or something negative off course. In this case it was both, but in the end I can say that it will be a nice memory 🙂

Last Friday we left at 09:00 o’clock in the morning with the bus to Buducnost where we would play the second game of the quarter final in the Champions League. Actually we were told to leave at 08:00 o’clock, but because we are all not morning persons, we managed to leave at 09:00. We had a long travel ahead of us, 1100 km to Podgorica. Luckily there was a lot of space in the bus, since we started the trip with only 11 players 😉 Enough space to stretch our legs. We travelled by bus because of financial reasons and the low number of players because of injuries…

The journey started in Romania, through Hungary and through Serbia, to Montenegro. You can guess: it took a lot of time to stop at every border for the passport control. In the end we arrived in Podgorica, after sleeping Fridaynight in Serbia, on Saturday at 17:30. Exhausted!

But, tired or not, we had a training on Saturday just to move a little bit. We did some ladders and played a game with the ‘whole’ team. We started on the leftwing and who managed to score was allowed to move on position further, nice! At least the atmosphere in the team was very relaxed, we had nothing to lose. Sunday evening we were ready for the game against the Champions League winner of last season. We played very good and even in the halftime break we were leading with one goal. But in the end we didn’t have enough energy and our Champions League season was over after the lost. But I’m very proud of the team who showed a lot of strength. After difficult circumstances we managed to make the game an exciting one 🙂

There are still some games left in the Romanian competition and also the Cup. I hope we can still take that price! And everyone, don’t forget to vote for the Champions League All-star Team! I’ve been nominated for best left back, you can vote here.


Un sfarsit de neuitat

Sunt cateva momente in viata cand experimentezi  ceva si stii sigur ca nu vei uita niciodata acea experienta. In ultimele zile am avut acest sentiment de mai multe ori, asa ca mi-am zis: “Lois, o sa iti amintesti asta si peste 30 de ani”. Pot fi atat momente negative, cat si pozitive. In acest caz au fost momente din ambele categorii, dar, in final, pot spune ca va fi o amintire frumoasa.
Vinerea trecuta am plecat la ora 9 dimineata cu autocarul catre Podgorica, unde am jucat returul sfertului de finala din Champions League. Ni s-a zis ca vom pleca la ora 8, dar, pentru ca nu toate suntem matinale, am reusit sa plecam la 9. Am avut un drum lung, 1100 km pana la Podgorica. Din fericire a fost mult spatiu in bus, avand in vedere faptul ca am facut deplasarea doar 11 jucatoare. Suficient spatiu sa ne miscam putin. Am calatorit cu bus-ul din motive financiare, dar si din cauza ca am fost putine jucatoare, datorita accidentarilor.
Calatoria a inceput din Romania, prin Ungaria si Serbia, pana in Muntenegru. Puteti ghici: a durat mult timp deoarece a trebuit sa oprim la fiecare granita pentru controlul pasaportului. In final am ajuns in Podgorica, dupa ce am dormit vineri noaptea in Serbia, Sambata la 17:30. Extenuate!
Dar, obosite sau nu, am avut antrenament sambata, pentru a ne misca putin. Am facut niste scari si am jucat un mic joc cu “intreaga” echipa. Am inceput din extrema stanga si cine marca putea sa isi schimbe pozitia… Dragut! Cel putin atmosfera la echipa a fost foarte reaxanta, nu am avut nimic de pierdut. Duminica seara am fost pregatite pentru meciul impotriva detinatoarei trofeului. Am jucat foarte bine si, la pauza conduceam cu un gol. Dar in final nu am avut suficienta energie si sezonul nostru in Champions League s-a incheiat cu aceasta infrangere. Sunt foarte mandra de echipa. Am aratat multa forta. Dupa circumstantele dificile am reusit sa facem jocul incantator.
Mai sunt inca cateva jocuri de disputat in Liga Nationala, dar si Cupa Romaniei. Inca cred in sansele noastre! Si, va rog sa nu uitati sa votati pentru All Star Team in Champions League. Am fost nominalizata pentru cel mai bun inter stang. Puteti vota aici
