"Those who are present, those who made it known that they are close to us, are a source of great comfort to me. A truly great effort was made, because it was something organized quickly.

Seuntjens then recounted the emotions he experienced on Saturday at the VVV. "The feeling that was in the stadium has no words. Not only from the fans, but also from the club. I received a lot of support from the NAC, but also from friends and family. It was the first time that we were in the stadium after what happened. It's a strange feeling, because you are there but your mind is somewhere else. When we were in front of the B-Side, which is the sector with the warmest fans, that's when we realized how much affection there was. But in reality, indeed, perhaps even before, when the stadium lights were turned off and the team was presented, we were invited to be part of the team's presentation, there it was a very touching thing for us. Then we went home and saw videos and photos of what had happened, and there too we realized the affection. I am very grateful to everyone, and above all I am grateful to my wife, because she has been and is proving to be a very strong person."

Seuntjens finally revealed that he also receives support from his teammates. "With some teammates I talk more, with others a little less, it's normal. But there are some with whom I'm happy to talk. Paul Gladon, for example, is a great friend and he's giving me a lot of support. We have a sort of common thought on certain things, and he understands well what I'm going through."

What happens now

Mats Seuntjens is expected to make an emotional recovery, supported by his family and the NAC Breda community. With the Keuken Kampioen Divisie season underway, it is possible that the player will return to focus on training and matches, while the club will continue to provide him with the necessary support to face this difficult moment.
