Quinten Timber’s Emotional Reaction to Robin van Persie

Following the match between Feyenoord and Sparta, which ended with a score of 3-4, Quinten Timber made headlines by openly addressing Robin van Persie. Timber has subsequently been sold to Olympique Marseille.

Hans Kraaij Jr., reflecting on the moment in his column for Voetbal International, described his surprise when Timber approached him unexpectedly. “I must admit, I did not see him coming at all. We hadn’t even requested him for the interview with ESPN. We had already spoken with three Feyenoord players and Robin van Persie before the camera,” Kraaij noted. “Just as we were about to conclude, Quinten Timber suddenly appeared next to me in his casual clothes, much to everyone’s astonishment.”

Kraaij further observed Timber’s emotional state during their conversation. “From the very first moment, Quinten Timber was highly emotional. He had seen what Robin van Persie had said about him prior to the match against Sparta, particularly in response to our question about why Hwang was chosen over Timber for the starting position. Van Persie responded calmly, explaining that intensity and task execution were the deciding factors in selecting Hwang.”
