“Feyenoord is annoying,” said Kenneth Perez after FCSB – Feyenoord (4-3). The ESPNanalyst concludes that after the game in Football talk. He saw the Rotterdam team give up a lead and reduce their chances of a longer European adventure.
“Towards the 1-1 I thought they played really well,” said the Danish former professional footballer. “At 1-3 you think it’s over, but then he changes three times. Then Feyenoord got really bad,” he says, referring to Robin van Persie’s substitutions.
One pair has to pay the price. “(Cyle, ed.) Larin and (Gonçalo, ed.) Borges were dramatic. You change those players and then you have such a mediocre period.” Perez doesn’t understand giving away the comfortable lead.
Danny Koevermans thinks Van Persie’s substitution policy is normal. “To give people some rest before Sunday’s Classic. Players were given some rest, but we didn’t really expect it to turn around like this,” says the Schiedammer.
The Danish analyst responds to Koevermans’ words. “I understand very well that you change, because you also have to change. But you are shocked by the level to which it goes.”
Karim El Ahmadi was not impressed by the Romanian opponent. “If you see them in the first sixty minutes, you say that you have to win 1-5,” said the former Feyenoord player, who, despite the lesser substitutes, believes that such a match should never be lost.
“In terms of results, Feyenoord played a dramatic European campaign,” says Perez. “It is a crisis at Feyenoord. We have the feeling that things are looking good, but in terms of results that is not the case,” concludes the former player of Ajax, AZ, FC Twente and PSV, among others.
