Feyenoord Gains Confidence Amid Injury Concerns

omidbasir- Feyenoord has bolstered its confidence with recent victories over SK Sturm Graz (3-0) and Heracles Almelo (4-2). Robin van Persie finds himself in a more secure position as head coach; however, concerning signals have emerged from De Kuip.

In a podcast with RTV Rijnmond, Dennis Kranenburg remarked, “It was not a great match, but the result is sacred now.” He noted that the decisive 3-1 score took too long to achieve, emphasizing that against such opponents, one should secure the match much earlier given the level of possession. His colleague, Dennis van Eersel, pointed out several “sloppy moments” and remarked that the tempo increased “too late” in the game.

Van Persie now faces the challenge of preparing for upcoming matches against Real Betis and PSV, potentially needing to adjust his lineup once again. “It’s difficult to assess the situation right after the match,” he stated in an interview with ESPN. “Watanabe has twisted his ankle, and we must wait to see how serious it is. We all hope for the best.”
