The popular football talk show Veronica Inside kicks off again on Friday night and Dick Advocaat is also watching the much-discussed show in the new season. The Feyenoord coach expects many people to follow his example. “John de Mol will also be happy that the three are back, right?” He said at the press conference on Friday before the match of Feyenoord against PEC Zwolle on Saturday.

Lawyer does not expect that there will be another quarrel between presenter Wilfred Genee and analysts René van der Gijp and Johan Derksen. “The three must remain themselves”, the coach in Rotterdam’s service is quoted as saying The Telegraph. However, the lawyer is of the opinion that the gentlemen should not prepare broadcasts as in June with the broadcast on racism. “That’s exactly what Johan said in the newspaper this week. Do not prepare anything and let those men speak there. Please give them freedom.”

Lawyer repeats: ‘There really has to be something different if we want to become champions’

The Feyenoord coach is happy that the Eredivisie is starting again. “That training came out of everyone’s throat at one point,” he said, referring to the particularly long preparation for the new year. “I used to think terribly as a player to have a few weeks of preparation. Fortunately, Feyenoord organized everything well. Especially those matches against German teams. If you play against Dortmund, you know you will not get anything for free.”

Lawyer draws hope from last season’s strong series before the corona crisis stopped football. “Well, I’ve seen a lot of games in the corona season. We’ve been happy a few times too”, warns the 72-year-old coach against too much optimism in De Kuip. ‘But if you do not lose 21 games, you have done well. How we came back in such a good way flow can come? It’s very simple. Start winning matches right away. It gives one flow. “
