Feyenoord’s Captaincy Controversy: Quinten Timber Takes on New Role

The captaincy of Feyenoord remains a topic of much debate. During the match against SC Heerenveen, which ended in a 2-2 draw, Timon Wellenreuther assumed the captain’s role. However, an intriguing situation unfolded prior to kickoff.

As a goalkeeper, Wellenreuther is officially prohibited from engaging with the referees during the match. In light of this, Feyenoord decided to assign Quinten Timber to this responsibility. This move is particularly noteworthy since Timber, a midfielder who had recently lost the captain’s armband last summer, has seen several teammates take on this leadership position in his absence, including Sem Steijn and Anis Hadj Moussa.
