According to Emile Schelvis, who was a guest on Friday FC RijnmondSem Steijn is struggling with a lot of tension at Feyenoord. The football commentator states that this nervousness ensures that the midfielder is not sharp enough in the final phase.
The Rijnmond program discusses how Feyenoord should fill the midfield against PSV on Sunday afternoon. “You can already fill in Luciano Valente. And Sem Steijn too. Unfortunately,” says Schelvis, the commentator. Ziggo Sports. “Why do you say ‘unfortunately?'” asks Bart Nolles. “Because he played with a guy on his back again on Thursday evening. That boy is under stress, you can feel and see that in everything,” Schelvis responds.
“In the last parts of his action, he actually comes up just a little bit short every time. Perhaps that captaincy has done him more harm than good, but he will never dare to admit that later. But it seems a bit like that. There is no relaxation in the final phase for him,” the analyst continues.
Schelvis cites an example during the match against Panathinaikos. “That was three times nothing and you can’t afford that against PSV. There will be a number of chances, but not many. So Steijn has to be ruthless with those chances,” the commentator concludes.
