Feyenoord is facing Heracles for the sixth time in the history of the cup in Dutch football today. The previous five editions were all won by the team from Rotterdam, although a penalty shootout was needed in 2013. The match is an eighth final and if it wins, Feyenoord will qualify for the last eight in the cup tournament. The match starts at 6:45 PM and can be seen on ESPN 2.
From a mental point of view, it should normally be good at Feyenoord, after a Classic in which the team showed what it is capable of. Nevertheless, according to Advocaat, the strong performance in Amsterdam offers no guarantee. ” Every match is different. For us, the way we played should be a stimulus towards Wednesday. ”
Then the cup tournament also starts for Feyenoord. “The cup is very important to us,” confirmed Lawyer on the eve of the eighth final against Heracles. ‘It simply remains the shortest route to Europe. Last year we reached the final, although unfortunately it was no longer played. We want that again and we should also radiate that as a team on Wednesday. ”
Should Feyenoord manage to advance one round, Dick Advocaat’s team will play an away match in the quarter-finals. During the draw it became clear which clubs will possibly play a home game in the quarter-finals and Feyenoord and Heracles Almelo were not among them.
