Like every Sunday evening after an Eredivisie round, tonight was also in Studio Football the focus on the top teams in the national league. Not entirely surprisingly, the top match between Feyenoord and AZ was also discussed.
Presenter Sjoerd van Ramshorst was present at the match and absolutely enjoyed it. ”The stadium went completely crazy after the goal”, referring to Marcus Pedersen’s goal. Former PSV player Ibrahim Affelay put the focus elsewhere. “I especially liked his girlfriend’s reaction.”
As a guest, Sparta defender Bart Vriends was present to give his opinion on the match. He viewed the goal from an interesting angle. “There was a Liverpool data analyst with us on the podcast (the Cor Podcast) who said it’s better not to block shots because then you don’t know exactly how they land. That’s what I had to think about in this case.”
NOS-reporter Arno Vermeulen had his say about the potential rejection of the first Feyenoord goal. “I don’t think it’s enough to make this a problem. There will be so many passes after that, you don’t have to reject him for that. I rather thought the pushing error was a reason to reject the goal,” he analyzes Pedersen’s handball.
Finally, the former international Affelay was very clear when asked who the star in De Kuip was. ‘Geertruida was the best man on the field. Pavlidis did not get a foothold, he had no chance. He always had a good footballing solution. He intervenes at the right time. He is always calm on the ball, makes the right choices. He knows what’s going on around him.”
