Kenneth Perez is not satisfied with the level of Feyenoord in the league match against Vitesse (0-0). Dick Advocaat’s team particularly struggled in the first half and was saved several times by goalkeeper Justin Bijlow. After the break, Feyenoord looked stronger, but Perez was by no means impressed. The same applies to fellow analyst Ronald de Boer, who at ESPN states that Feyenoord ‘has been given a point’.
“It was the fight for fourth place, but it could also have been the fight for fourteen, given the level of the game,” Perez said. “Vitesse was the slightly better team. But Feyenoord … I was really shocked by that. Really. Feyenoord is sometimes really good at the ball and goal-oriented, but today it was never the case. And yet they have two very big chances. through Steven Berghuis, so they could have gotten away quite well. What a level. “
De Boer thinks that Feyenoord can consider itself lucky with the points division. “Vitesse has left it pretty bad. If you are so much better and deal with the opportunities that you have been offered by Feyenoord … Feyenoord has really thrown it into Vitesse’s lap and Vitesse has done far too little with that. in hindsight a welcome point. ” Still, Feyenoord got chances for more, he saw. Even after the red card from Berghuis, fifteen minutes before the end, the home team was stronger than Vitesse. “Then they straightened up a bit and didn’t get in much trouble.”
Berghuis 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. According to De Boer, it is plausible that Berghuis will be missing against Ajax in two weeks. “I think so. If you consider other fouls for which 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. “
