Feyenoord did win 4-2 against ADO Den Haag on Sunday afternoon, but the team from Rotterdam did not have it easy in their own Kuip. After the match, trainer Dick Advocaat questioned the tactics used, which were developed in consultation with the players’ group. However, the experienced trainer says that the last word has not yet been spoken.

The players want to use a more offensive tactic, while Advocaat would rather see his team collapse, keep the spaces small and then strike: “Especially abroad you see many teams putting pressure and playing pressure very early. But whether that is also wise for us? You have to be able to do it, ”he says in conversation with it ANP.

Feyenoord played a 1-1 draw against FC Twente last week and Steven Berghuis was then critical of the way of play used. The lawyer then called his captain back to order with the message that he should have kept his criticism internal: “I will talk to the players again on Monday. Last week I talked, now they can do it ”, the trainer continues.

“I notice things that I want and they don’t. I still think we need space. They want to turn it around. Today we tried it: disturb early, be on top of it. But with that you take away your own space. If you have the ball, you must know what to do with it. And that is easier if you have the space, ”he explains.

Lawyer turned a few things around against ADO in the break with the input of Luciano Narsingh and João Teixeira and turned out to have a good hand of exchange. Narsingh scored, while Teixeira distinguished himself with his good game: “That wasn’t out of luxury, I thought I had to do something. I could have gotten out two or three more. Teixeira made the difference. He knows what to do when he has the ball. That is an asset to Feyenoord you know. ”
