Arne Slot thinks it is right that Javairô Dilrosun has a starting place at Feyenoord in the away match against Heracles Almelo on Sunday. The trainer recently saw the wing attacker make two strong appearances and believes that Dilrosun is not inferior to his competitors.
“The right winger position is sometimes subject to change. And today, after two excellent substitute appearances (against FC Volendam and Celtic, ed.), Javairô gets the chance there. I think I have always said that we have an x number of wingers who really like each other. There is little to avoid. And that it is very close to each other,” he said ESPN.
“And that I also want to give boys the confidence for a long time. That they do not leave after a bad match,” Slot explains his position. “But if at a certain point that doesn't work out and Javairô comes on twice. And he hasn't been that bad all this time. Then I think he deserves to get his chance.”
According to Slot, the 2-1 defeat against Celtic in the Champions League hit the Feyenoord camp quite hard. “We feel that because we are not used to it. That is perhaps the disadvantage of playing in the Champions League. When you play in the Conference League and Europa League, you generally do not have defeats because of the qualities we possess. “
“If we play at Champions League level, there is no certainty that we will win, especially not against the opponents we have faced. Then that also has consequences for us, we are not used to losing so much,” Slot refers. to a total of four defeats in the group stage of the billion dollar ball.
Verbeek
“The big difference with recent years is on the wings. Slot is not satisfied with the performance of the players he tried there,” Gertjan Verbeek then analyzes in front of the camera of ESPN Slot's explanation about his wingers. “Ivanusec is now back in the mix, but I don't think he's convincing either. He doesn't really have an individual action.”
“He's not really fast either. Ivanusec can combine well,” Verbeek manages to point out another strong point of the wing attacker. “That should work out with Hartman, but Hartman plays more anonymously with him in front of him. And Stengs moving to the side, while he has played excellent games in midfield, also says enough.”
