The prosecutor of the KNVB has made Steven Berghuis a settlement proposal of three games, one of which is conditional, because of his red card in the game between Feyenoord and Vitesse on Sunday. Feyenoord and Berghuis have accepted this proposal. As a result, he is missing in the competition matches with ADO Den Haag (away) and Ajax (home).
Fifteen minutes before the end, the attacker committed a hefty, poorly timed tackle on Maximilian Wittek, who had to be substituted after the foul. A direct red card remained for Berghuis, the first in his career; he was already sent away three times in his career after two yellow cards. “The boys said he did and he said it himself,” said trainer Dick Advocaat ESPN when asked whether the red print, which was awarded by Dennis Higler, was justified. “He was late.”
After the game, in the studio it was about the suspension that Berghuis would receive. Ronald de Boer already assumed a suspension of at least two matches, which meant that Berghuis would be missing against Ajax. “I think so. If you consider other fouls where two games were suspended, this is one too. He wants to win the ball back at all costs, but I still call it a ‘Mountain house’. Sometimes he got it right. away with moments of frustration. He doesn’t need this, because he has an incredible amount of quality. “

Berghuis can make his comeback in the away match against Heracles Almelo on Thursday 13 May. The captain of Feyenoord played 37 official games this season, the highest number of all Feyenoord players. After Marcos Senesi (3222 minutes), Berghuis (3161 minutes) has also made the most playing minutes for Feyenoord this season. The right winger was good for 19 goals and 14 assists in 37 games.
