Since the interview that Berghuis gave after the match against FC Twente, a discussion has erupted at Feyenoord about whether or not to put high pressure. Berghuis, like some other players, would like to play football with more conviction and put a lot of pressure. Trainer Dick Advocaat argues that that is the reason that things did not go well with the club under Jaap Stam.
Feyenoord watcher Mikos Gouka joins the AD Football Podcast behind the Feyenoord trainer. “The funny thing about the discussion is that Lawyer has been doing it his way from match one.ADO The Hague home, ed.) was match 25. They lost once, 24 times not. Under Stam they did exactly what the players want now: play far forward and put pressure early. There were results that you did not believe, such as a 4-2 defeat at Fortuna. That had everything to do with the early pressure and the huge gaps that formed on the field. It’s a strange discussion at a club where so little is lost. “
Sjoerd Mossou understands the urge for a more dominant way of playing. “I understand that Lawyer started playing like this in the phase that he took over. But you also want to develop further; you want to see progress. Feyenoord is also viewed differently. More is expected from them. But if you then If you want to put pressure earlier, you also have to train it very well and grind it in completely. If you then start limping on two thoughts, it will indeed become difficult. “
