Feyenoord’s Increasing Private Training Sessions: A Divided Opinion

Feyenoord has increasingly opted to conduct training sessions behind closed doors. While not all supporters agree with this trend, many players appreciate the decision.

Football analyst Robert Maaskant expressed understanding for the coaches’ choice, stating, “There are training sessions where you think, ‘I’d prefer not to have anyone watching.’ It’s not just about protecting sensitive information; sometimes you need to address players without it becoming public immediately.” He emphasized that any discussion can quickly lead to controversy, noting, “The next day it can become a scandal—or, in today’s climate, within seconds.”
