Meanwhile, Heerenveen’s Jacob Trenskow and top finisher Ion Nicolaescu have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Robin Veldman, remains effective. Nicolaescu leads Heerenveen’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with seven goals, as Kohlert continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with five assists.
