According to Vi.
Context
Telstar, an Eredivisie club, has recently undergone a significant transformation, focusing on a mix of experience and youth. With the arrival of new promising players and a coach who knows the environment well, the club aims to climb up the table and regain the trust of its supporters.
Why it matters
Telstar is preparing to face a new season of Eredivisie football with the aim of improving the results obtained last year. The team, which gained 40 points, must rediscover its identity and the game that distinguished it, after a disappointing second round. The change of coach, with the arrival of Koen Stam, represents a crucial step in bringing the winning mentality back to the club.
Key Points
- Telstar and the new season: new times and greater challenges.
- The new Eredivisie championship starts on Friday and new times and bigger challenges are announced for Telstar.
- VI Public Service: new, but more expected from Telstar.
The new Eredivisie championship begins on Friday and new times and bigger challenges are ahead for Telstar. Here is the presentation of the VI team.

2023/24 for Telstar will not just be a question of points, but also of identity. Velsen's team deserves more in terms of results, but they must also rediscover the way of playing that led them to 40 points last year, that is, that of being a team that is capable of achieving results within the Eredivisie by playing good football, something that was a bit lost in the second round.
For this reason the club decided to change coach and said goodbye to Andries Jonker, who had been on the Telstar bench for 5 years, and hired a younger coach with fresher ideas like Koen Stam.
Stam, who was also a Telstar player, was chosen to bring back to the team that winning mentality which, as mentioned, was somewhat lacking last year.
Telstar will focus a lot on young people this year, in fact the team has been practically revolutionized and many young players have arrived, some with great prospects.
In this regard, the club has further optimized its collaboration with Ajax, but also with Feyenoord and PSV, to have promising young players on loan from big clubs or even to acquire young prospects on a permanent basis.
Players like Soufyan Chahed, who is an attacking winger born in 2003, or the central defender Joris Kramer, who is born in 2004, or even the left back Jordan Bakker, who is born in 2003, are all players who can hopefully do well at Telstar and can also reach the first teams of their respective clubs within a few years.
In addition to these young people, there will also be more experienced players who will have to guide these young people, such as the striker Thijs van Leeuwen, who is born in 2000, or the central defender Rocco Achampong, who is born in 1998, or even the midfielder Kees Luyckx, who is born in 1998.
In short, the mix between young and old will be very important for the new coach Koen Stam.
The first test to see if these new ideas and this new team will be able to produce results is Friday, when there will be the first league match away against Willem II.
What happens now
With the start of the championship, Telstar will focus on integrating young talent into the squad, thanks to strategic collaborations with clubs such as Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV. The team is expected to test Stam's new tactical approach, aiming to build a more effective and attractive game. Fans can expect an exciting start to the season, with the hope of seeing a competitive Telstar in the Eredivisie.
