[Strong lineup,] the co-commentator noted. [We know how dangerous Berghuis can be on that right flank, and Benjamin Rijkaard has been nothing short of sensational in recent weeks]
[And speaking of Benjamin, let's talk about that midweek KNVB Beker match,] Mike said, unable to hold back his enthusiasm. [AZ Alkmaar didn't just win comfortably, they absolutely demolished SC Veendam. 15-0! A record-breaking scoreline in the history of the competition]
[And who else but Benjamin Rijkaard to steal the show?] his co-commentator replied. [Four goals, Mike. This kid was untouchable that night. The defenders couldn't get near him]
The screen flashed highlights of the cup match—Benjamin weaving past helpless defenders, his powerful strikes rippling the net.
The crowd at the Mandemakers Stadion gave a mixed reaction, some impressed, others wary of what he might do to their team tonight.
