Nicolai Jörgensen finally feels good again and actually for the first time since Feyenoord’s 2016/17 championship season. After all, the striker has missed the full preparation the last two seasons due to injuries to his foot and knee, and he stayed behind. For Jörgensen, it is important that he has now made match minutes and is fit from the preparation. “As a player from Feyenoord, I only had it in the season of our national title, in the summer of 2016. It was also a great season.”

The corona crisis suddenly ended the football season in the Netherlands, but for Jörgensen there was also an advantage. “Before, I was really in a kind of vicious, vicious cycle of injuries. My body now had time to recover, I underwent a kind of reset. At least that’s how it feels, ”the Dane said Friday. Algemeen Dagblad. He hopes the goals will come again, just like in the friendly match against Borussia Dortmund. ‘I would like to be found quickly in depth, just behind the defense. A quick attack, then stop thinking and pull the trigger. ‘

“That’s how I did it in the championship season, so it has to be done again now.” Jörgensen feels that Dick Advocaat has confidence in him. ‘He’s strict with me when the situation calls for it, but I feel the support and confidence. That’s all you can expect from a coach, “the striker emphasized. The lawyer has so much experience. He brings pleasure. I do not know what a young coach can do better than our coach. He always demands one hundred percent, gives everything himself. But at the same time he can laugh and I think it’s a good combination. ‘

Jörgensen makes no long-term plans and sees no reason to leave for Feyenoord. “At the end of the day, you just have to be content with what you did and where you are. I really feel like Feyenoord, I’m at home in Rotterdam. After his good performances in 2016/17, 25 goals in 42 matches, a transfer abroad was sooner or later the obvious choice. ‘That’s not the case now. I want to become champion again with this club, it was the best feeling I ever had as a football player. ”

‘It is possible, although the factor of happiness is not unimportant either. Everything should go well. But I learned not to chase after something too manic. A relaxed attitude can work wonders. Jörgensen does not know whether Feyenoord will really be a serious candidate. “We have a very good team. The choice is only slightly narrower than usual. He is curious how the empty or almost empty stadiums will affect the competition. ‘Everyone knows how things go in a complete tub and what impact it has on the opponents. It will be different now. ‘
