Feyenoord Aims to Build Momentum in Spain as Leadership Dynamics Shift

Feyenoord is looking to establish a strong foundation during their time in Spain as they prepare for a successful second half of the season. Coach Robin van Persie is contemplating a painful decision regarding team leadership.

According to the Algemeen Dagblad, Sem Steijn will need to prove himself once again. “Steijn appears fit and sharp after his hamstring injury while in Spain, but the question remains whether he will retain the captaincy of Feyenoord,” the publication notes. Van Persie has recently expressed high praise for Timon Wellenreuther, commenting on the German goalkeeper’s leadership qualities and his ability to communicate the team’s playing style effectively.
