Feyenoord has started an important week with a 0-1 victory-in-extremis over fellow townsman Sparta. The Union Berlin – Feyenoord poster is scheduled for Thursday in the context of the Conference League and primal Feyenoord player Willem van Hanegem hopes for a nice evening.
“I heard that there will be no less than five thousand Feyenoord players in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin,” said The Curve in his column in the General Newspaper. “Let’s hope everyone uses their common sense there in Germany. When I was once trainer of Feyenoord, there were seven thousand supporters in the stadium against Werder Bremen. It was a great match, which many people still remember fondly. “
“After the cowardly attack on the people of Union Berlin in the heart of Rotterdam two weeks ago, you can only hope that there will be no reaction from the Germans in Berlin this week. Because Feyenoord’s supporters will never flee, I know. from experience and then you have misery. Nevertheless, I hope that everyone in Berlin will soon avoid that misery. It would be good for the clubs and the entire Dutch football, at a time when quite a few people appear to have a short fuse. “
“We all know the story of Mark Koevermans, threatening him was of course absurd. It is one of the reasons that he is leaving as general manager of Feyenoord. What I do have my doubts about is the withdrawal of a huge investor. club for an eternity and now that millionaire suddenly had the pen in his hand to sign at the cross, and then say no anyway. That would be very coincidental, I think. “
In his column, Van Hanegem also returns to Feyenoord’s difficult victory. “Sparta did it like Vitesse before, with the long ball constantly behind Feyenoord’s defense and that apparently works. Like Sparta [het deed] is allowed and the top clubs just have to find an answer to that. They get even better.”
