The 0-1 victory over FC Groningen was an important thing for Feyenoord. The defeat at Braga earlier that week – and in particular the choices of Robin van Persie around that competition – caused some negativity, which has now been taken away reasonably well. Yet Clubwatcher Mikos Gouka wanted in the Ad football podcast Just respond to the earlier statements of the trainer.
“I received almost every pressco when Borges and Tengstedt started playing, but if they are playing, it is not good again,” Van Persie de Pers was blamed during his press conference last Friday. “I thought that was funny,” Gouka responded now. “Such a Persco is not there to start discussions all the time. But I haven’t constantly heard at all:” Why don’t they play? “. It was only asked:” How are they doing? ” And there has certainly been no one who said, “Robin, just throw all the players we have not seen at the same time.”
Gouka therefore thinks that Van Persie could have brought his spare players in a different way. “If Borges and Tengstedt had played half an hour, we could have seen them in action for a while. Trainers always call in the first weeks of the season that new players will take time. Then of course it also takes time if you replace seven players against Braga. Perhaps it is now a time for these boys. Borges, Tengstedt and Diarra came against FC.”
“It is also too easy to say now:” You didn’t show it to Braga either. ” I would have wanted to see it in a normal arrangement with, for example, Borges, it would probably have gone better, “says Gouka. “It takes longer before they get there. That gives a little stress within the club, because they have cost a lot of money. But on the other hand: with the players who are already there, they are at the top. And if they beat Aston Villa, it is quickly straightened in the Europa League.”
