Marcos Senesi is in the right place at Feyenoord, which he thinks resembles in many ways San Lorenzo, the Argentinian club he exchanged for an adventure in the Eredivisie in 2019. Despite this, it seems unlikely that the center-back will play in De Kuip for years to come, as there are regular rumors about a transfer to a European top competition. Senesi emphasizes, however, that he will not just leave Feyenoord for the first club.
“I only want one thing: play. I do that every week at Feyenoord. That’s what counts”, Senesi leaves nothing to be desired in an extensive interview with Football International. “Of course I have ambitions and if there is interest in me, the club must be able to give me a better feeling than I have now in Rotterdam. After that, the competition must also suit me and then the country. Only when all is well, I will listen, but I will only leave when I know that Feyenoord will benefit from my transfer “, said the man-player previously linked to Napoli and Leeds United, among others, whose transfer fee seems to be above twenty million euros. His current commitment will continue for more than two years.
“That was also the case when I left San Lorenzo in a hurry. Suddenly there was an agreement with Feyenoord from which all parties benefited”, Senesi refers to his arrival in the Netherlands more than a year and a half ago. At the time, the deal involved an amount of approximately seven million euros. “Of course it hurt me, but I had to leave. I hope that it will be the same here and that people will remember me as a player who has brought a lot to Feyenoord. Even though I have not been playing here for long, I now feel good. a real Feyenoord player. ” Senesi, in preparation for Sunday’s top match against PSV, has been a fixture under trainer Dick Advocaat for some time now. In almost two seasons in South Rotterdam, he made 57 appearances.
Lawyer is in any case impressed by Senesi’s development, which he regularly compares to Daniel Passarella. The latter won the world title with Argentina in 1978 at the expense of the Dutch and is still a big name in the South American country. “I have never seen him play, but of course I know the stories. He is one of the great players in Argentine football and I will not compare myself to such an icon. But that does not mean that I do not have the ambition to myself. ever to play in the history books “, Senesi responds to his coach’s comparison. The Feyenoord player himself looks very closely at the top defenders of today. “If I add all that together, Sergio Ramos is a player who I don’t see as my idol or something, but who I will want to mirror myself.”
