Naturally and self-evidently, Willem van Hanegem is not happy with Feyenoord’s defeat in the Philips Stadium. The Feyenoord icon leaves nothing behind Robin van Persie’s team, which, strangely enough, he actually leaves alone.
Leave it alone in the sense that Van Hanegem may not yet be able to properly judge or assess whether Van Persie has mastered the trade. Medialand now thinks differently en masse, but that’s besides the point. Does Van Hanegem save Van Persie? It just might be possible.
In any case, Van Hanegem grumbled a lot after PSV – Feyenoord in the Philips Stadium, where Van Hanegem was invited again by the PSV management. De Kromme is popular within PSV and rightly so.
Yet Van Hanegem still took a strong swipe at Peter Bosz. Lashing out in the sense that the Feyenoord icon has not forgotten how Bosz’s team could sink so much in the Eredivisie a year ago.
AD Football podcast presenter Wessel confronts Van Hanegem with another fact. At least, Wessel believes that Bosz would not have made nice statements about Van Hanegem to well-known journalists in the past. Hugo Borst also sometimes refers to these events, but that is besides the point.
‘Yes Willem. He said nasty things about you in the media to journalist friends,” Wessel begins. “Well, I don’t know,” Van Hanegem responded. ‘Yes, Willem, you know that. “He was a hard worker,” Van Hanegem responds to the question whether Bosz was also that good tactically at Feyenoord.
Peter Bosz extended his contract with PSV for two years this weekend and is currently seen by many as the best trainer in the Eredivisie, but Van Hanegem does not entirely agree with the praise for Peter Bosz. “Then they might have said: just go away,” Van Hanegem is adamant about securing the national title in relation to the second place that was lurking until the last round of the 2024-2025 season.
