Feyenoord gets his gram after Orkun Kökçü’s opening goal in the Conference League game against Slavia Prague. The midfielder put his team ahead in the fourteenth minute with a clean long shot. Feyenoord then posts a cynical tweet, with the quote: ‘He should score more’. The tweet is accompanied by a photo of Kökçü cheering after his goal.

Feyenoord may refer to criticism expressed on Saturday in a broadcast of FC Rijnmond. Journalist Emile Schelvis saw that Joey Veerman was being sung to by the supporters of Feyenoord in the match against sc Heerenveen and drew his conclusions from that. “It is clear for whom Het Legion wants to see him. If you look at Kökcü’s figures: twelve official games without goals or assists. He apparently has to play in a different role, much more controlling. But he is not the player there. nasty.”

Club watcher Dennis van Eersel also criticized the Feyenoord playmaker. “Slowly we have to conclude that he delivers too few goals and assists to fill the position in ten. I think he would come into his own in a different position in midfield.” Incidentally, in March, Kökçü gave an interview with ESPN himself that he had to score more often, after he scored a goal against FC Emmen (1-1). “This is the beginning,” he said at the time.

Feyenoord had a strong start against the champions of the Czech Republic. In the eighth minute, Guus Til shot keeper Ales Mandous from a difficult angle, but moments later Kökçü fired a hard and clean long shot into the right corner: 1-0. Bryan Linssen had a good chance to double the margin in the eighteenth minute when he extended the ball on a header from Luis Sinisterra, but ran into Mandous from close range. Halfway through the first half, Feyenoord deserved 2-0. The home team forced Alexander Bah to lose the ball and launched a counterattack. The steamed-up Tyrell Malacia found Linssen, who trumped Lukas Masopust at the far post and headed in.
