Conflict Erupts Between Quinten Timber and Robin van Persie at Feyenoord

Tensions between Quinten Timber and Robin van Persie at Feyenoord have reached a critical point, as evidenced by recent developments on Sunday. Pierre van Hooijdonk has shared his perspective on the ongoing conflict between Timber and Van Persie, shedding light on the dynamics at play within the team.

Historically, Pierre van Hooijdonk and Robin van Persie, both former players at Feyenoord, have not seen eye to eye. This discord persists, as highlighted during a recent segment on Studio Voetbal, where Van Hooijdonk was asked to comment on the situation involving Quinten Timber. He remarked on Timber’s behavior and expressed thoughts regarding the coach’s approach.

Prior to the match, Van Persie, the team’s head coach, made critical remarks about Quinten Timber. These comments prompted a strong reaction from Timber, who addressed the media following the game. “I have read what was said before the match. It’s unfortunate that it has come to this. This isn’t the first time the coach has failed to support a player, and once again, it has happened to me. There is a limit, and the coach has crossed it,” Timber stated.

Van Hooijdonk commented on Timber’s character, saying, “I don’t know Timber personally, but he appears to be reliable. He always seems calm and composed, much like his brother Jurriën. He doesn’t exhibit unusual outbursts. The fans are restless because of his expiring contract and want him to extend, but he is not inclined to do so.”

Meanwhile, RTV Rijnmond has sought clarity regarding the future of Van Persie as coach. Dennis van Eersel from the radio and television station indicated, “We have listened to sources close to the editorial team who are involved in matters concerning Van Persie’s fate. In this instance, it particularly pertains to Dennis te Kloese. The conclusion from Te Kloese is clear: there are currently no signals suggesting that the coach’s departure is imminent; that is not on the agenda at this time.”
