Feyenoord Clinches Victory with Key Contributions from Wellenreuther and Moder

omidbasir- Robin van Persie expressed his relief after Feyenoord’s away victory over FC Utrecht. The team managed to maintain their 1-0 lead against ten players from Utrecht, largely thanks to goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther’s pivotal saves.

“We were fortunate that Timon saved us several times,” Van Persie acknowledged in an interview with ESPN following the match. “I thought we played well in the first half; aside from two chances, we didn’t give much away and had a lot of control with the ball. The players were patient, which was commendable. However, in the second half, I felt we were less effective and a bit careless, yet we showed real character.”

In terms of player positioning, Jakub Moder played as a striker in Stadion Galgenwaard. “He was involved in the goal, which is great to see. Fifty-five minutes was the maximum for him today,” stated Van Persie, who substituted Casper Tengstedt. “I have communicated my expectations for him, as well as for any striker. The initial factors I assess in a striker do not revolve solely around scoring goals. I have discussed these points with him, and I can see that Casper is making progress. He will continue to work on that.”
