The second half was moments away, and the anticipation inside the AFAS Stadion hadn't waned one bit.
The home fans were in full voice, chanting and clapping in rhythm, savoring every second of this dominant performance.
As the players emerged from the tunnel, the cameras focused on the AZ Alkmaar bench.
Benjamin Rijkaard and Steven Berghuis were standing near the technical area, their expressions unreadable but their body language suggesting eagerness to feature in the game.
[And here come the teams for the second half,] Mike announced. [And look at this—some early movement on the bench for both teams. Could we see changes any moment from now?]
[Wouldn't be surprised, Mike,] his co-commentator responded. [With a seven-goal lead, Gertjan Verbeek has the luxury of rotating and giving minutes to his other players. Meanwhile, Gert Heerkes will be looking to reduce the deficit or prevent more concessions before the full-time whistle]
Fweeeee!~
