NAC Breda midfielder Jannes Van Hecke has discussed his opening months at the club in the latest edition of De Bespreking. The episode was published by NAC on 1 October 2026 as part of the podcast’s return for the 2026/27 season.

According to the club, Van Hecke addresses the areas in which the team still needs to improve. He also talks about how the players work together on the pitch and the relationships being developed away from matches and training. NAC’s written announcement does not provide his detailed assessment, instead directing supporters to the complete conversation on Spotify.

The role of the crowd is another theme highlighted by NAC. Van Hecke says supporters “can give that push” to help the players find something extra, with the club using that message as the title of the episode. The podcast also touches on Van Hecke’s personal adjustment following his arrival, including whether the Belgian midfielder has yet settled in Breda itself.

De Bespreking is scheduled to run weekly during the season, featuring conversations with NAC’s head coach and/or a first-team player. Van Hecke is the featured guest for this instalment, offering supporters an update on his early experiences and the squad’s ongoing work.
