Meanwhile, NEC’s top finisher Vito van Crooij and Koki Ogawa have played important roles in ensuring their attack, with Rogier Meijer at the helm, remains effective. NEC’s top scorer in Eredivisie, van Crooij, has nine goals this season, while also being their most creative player, providing five assists in the league so far.
