Even if Feyenoord gets the chance to pick up Jorrit Hendrix for free due to the situation in Russia, René van der Gijp would advise against it. The analyst was not a big fan of the midfielder hired by Feyenoord and his performance against AZ (2-1 defeat) did not make it any better. “He really doesn’t add anything to Feyenoord, zero,” said Van der Gijp.
Players’ union FIFPro wants foreign players active in Russia to be able to cancel their contract free of charge. Feyenoord has rented two players from Spartak Moscow with Hendrix and Guus Til. If the FIFPro is found in the right, the two could therefore be picked up transfer-free. Whether that would also be wise, In VI Today disputed by Van der Gijp.
“I read today that Feyenoord is able to get Hendrix for free throughout the Russia affair. As Feyenoord I would think very carefully about that,” the analyst laughs. “Even if you get it for free. Come on man! With that rude kick he gives Gernot Trauner”, the former right winger refers to a remarkable moment from the match against AZ. Hendrix flew straight into the face of his own teammate, who was wounded to blood. “That’s not possible, is it?” says Van der Gijp. “He really doesn’t add anything to Feyenoord, zero.”
This does not come as a surprise to Johan Derksen. “PSV was of course very happy that they were ever able to sell that boy,” the analyst says. Hendrix was sold by PSV in January last year for half a million euros to Spartak, which already stored him at Feyenoord this winter. Six months earlier, the Russians also sent Til to the Kuip. Wim Kieft points out that the attacking midfielder is also disappointing. “Yes, Til is nothing when it comes to football”, Van der Gijp responds. “But shoot fifteen more. If he doesn’t score a goal, you don’t see him, you play with ten men.” Til has 13 goals in 26 Eredivisie matches this season.
