“I expect them to be the big winner this week”

Feyenoord are delighted with Aad de Mos. The 77-year-old former coach still enjoys football every day and the Rotterdam club in particular. De Mos is lyrical about the game against SL Benfica and will see coach Brian Priske’s side take three points against Ajax and next week against AZ.

“I expect them to be big winners this week,” said De Mos in an interview International football. ”Feyenoord is in such a flow; they don’t leave much behind. It is logical that he was still searching in the first weeks of the season. That was everyone. Feyenoord has made great progress in the last period, absolutely, and then the rotation is over immediately. In this way Feyenoord can work on its stability.”

De Mos has worked in Belgium in the past and follows the competition closely, even when Ayase Ueda was scoring regularly for Cercle Brugge. Confidence in Japanese is very good. “With a striker, I mainly look at how he gets his goals. And that’s incredibly good on Ueda. It is good for him that he is now free from Gimenez, because the mental aspect is very important: even more important than before, because of the great attention of the media today. ”

Feyenoord won the Champions League match against SL Benfica 1-3 and De Mos does not comment on that. “He had all the ingredients of modern football: full-backs coming forward, pressuring each other, a brilliant midfielder who is completely balanced. That South Korean has a kick in the legs; that is unbelievable. Wood was fantastic and Milambo is probably the biggest talent we have in Holland at the moment. The passing is amazing, the through balls are world class. What it shows already at this age: isn’t that good? Enjoy it very much.”
