“I think he is developing very well,” Van der Vaart starts opposite RTV Rijnmond About his former teammate with the Dutch national team. “It’s nice that no one at Feyenoord doubts about it. He is just in charge and you see that, so far, he makes good decisions. You see a stable team. Then you have to be a good trainer.”
Feyenoord is doing well this season in the Eredivisie. After seven rounds, the Rotterdammers are still unbeaten, making the leading position a fact.
