Dick Advocaat does not know yet we are under the bar in the home game against FC Emmen on Saturday. Nick Marsman made a very strong impression last Sunday (1-1) in the game with PSV, but the Feyenoord coach does not rule out that competitor Justin Bijlow has a starting place this weekend. In any case, the lawyer is happy that the latter goalkeeper has a place in the final European Championship selection of the Juniors.

“I will make that choice tomorrow (Saturday, ed.)”, Attorney at Law on Friday afternoon at the press conference prior to Emmen home is quoted by, among others, Football International. “It remains a difficult decision, but you just have to be very honest in the choice you make. That you tell the players what is going to happen.” The outgoing coach looks further than Feyenoord’s next game and hopes for playing time for Bijlow at the European Championship later this month. “I certainly expect that, that he will play at the European Championship. He is one of our top keepers.”

Lawyer keeps a low profile about the lack of Lutsharel Geertruida in the European Championship selection of the Juniors. “The national coach (Erwin van de Looi, ed.) Will have his reason.” The situation at Feyenoord is very different and it seems certain that Geertruida will have a base place against Emmen on Saturday. Lawyer does not want to know anything about an underestimation of the bottom of the league in the Eredivisie. “They have not lost the last four games, that says enough. But we also have to win to keep up”, the coach refers to the battle for third place.

The lawyer has few personnel problems in the run-up to Saturday’s home game. “In itself it is in good shape, only Fer has lost weight”, the Feyenoord trainer continues his outlook. “Yesterday (Thursday, ed.) At training he had problems with his calf, so it will probably be out for a few weeks.” In addition to Fer, Mark Diemers is also missing from De Kuip on Saturday evening. Lawyer hopes that the midfielder will be available again after the international match.
