With NAC Breda on the eve of their second consecutive season in the Eredivisie, Carl Hoefkens and Boy Kemper are hungry for more. However, at the same time, they donโt want to lose sight of their core values.
โWe need to become more of a football-oriented team.โ Voetbal Internationalโs Marco Timmer recapped the Breda pairsโ thoughts ahead of 2025-26.
Hoefkens believes NAC can become more dominant in the long run. โWithout wanting to be like Barcelona,โ the coach adds. โWe do have to take steps in that direction. Will that be easy? No. Because we must never lose sight of our core values. We must always exude passion, a do-it-yourself mentality, and the will to win.โ
Kemper, who could well take over the captainโs armband from the departed Jan Van den Bergh, agrees. โIโm convinced we can deliver more than last season. In the last 10 games, we havenโt had the same level and strength as before. We know that. We were a powerhouse, but we need to become a more football-oriented team. Weโve been working on that since day one.โ
