Arnold Bruggink and Kenneth Perez are not pleased with the cynical undertone that Arne Slot struck during an interview opposite ESPN after the lost top match against PSV. The Feyenoord trainer had to laugh cynically when he saw images of Cody Gakpo’s 2-1. According to Slot, a foul by Ibrahim Sangaré preceded this goal. “He often has that when something goes wrong, then there is always something that he does not like,” said Perez.
“Arne Slot can make the difference at certain clubs and as much as I like him as a trainer… He has a hand in this when he has lost,” says Perez at This was the Weekend. “I’m really not averse to being cynical, but as a trainer you are the signboard. He often has that when something goes wrong, then there is always something that he does not like. For example, I don’t really think that smile or influence journalists to choose his side, especially if you work at a top club like Feyenoord.” Bruggink can only agree with the words of his colleague analyst. “He really doesn’t need this. He’s just a bad loser, he can often hide that well,” Bruggink says with a laugh. “In this situation, that’s just difficult.”

Slot appeared in front of the camera of after the lost topper ESPN. The Feyenoord trainer saw that both teams tried to pressure each other to force mistakes. “I think the first and second goals against are examples that we play a straight ball on someone who is in cover”, after which the Feyenoord trainer could not suppress his laugh when seeing the images of Gakpo’s 2-1. “I see someone (Sangaré, ed.) going into a duel with Javairô Dilrosun from behind without touching the ball. I had already seen a photo of that duel…”
“Last Thursday I thought we made it 5-0, but then 25 passes were made with a very minor foul,” Slot refers to Alireza Jahanbakhsh’s disallowed goal against Sturm Graz. “It has been looked at by the referee and the VAR, but it is not a violation. Sangaré has not played the ball either, but well, then it can of course still not be a violation. There must have been no contact at all, then I but from.”
