”I found him a bit annoying, that referee”

At Feyenoord it is mainly about the referee after the match. In the second half, Rade Obrenovič gave a yellow card to Lutsharel Geertruida, Orkun Kökcü and Patrik Wålemark. This caused irritation among the people of Rotterdam.

”I found him a bit annoying, that referee”, says Kees Jansma in the afterthought of Veronica. Obrenovič is known as a referee who intervenes a lot and scatters yellow cards. “Actually, he was right, but just that attitude…”

Wim Kieft adds: ”I thought the referee did quite well in the first half. This is a game in which both teams put a lot of pressure, then it gets very messy in the field and then you get a lot of those duels where the ball is in between. He did well in the first half, but in the second half he just went on.”

Irritations at Feyenoord
Arnold Bruggink saw that Feyenoord forgot to play football because of the irritations. “There was a lot of fuss in the second half. Feyenoord doesn’t need it for the way they want to play.” Kenneth Perez adds: ”If you’re the better, and that was Feyenoord, then you shouldn’t have this. This interrupts your rhythm. As a result, Feyenoord only had 49 minutes of pure playing time.”
