Feyenoord starts again on Saturday evening against FC Emmen with Nick Marsman as goalkeeper. Dick Advocaat prefers the thirty-year-old keeper over Justin Bijlow, who has fully recovered. The trainer of the team from Rotterdam says between the lines that the plan is to use Bijlow as the first goalkeeper again after the coming international period.

Lawyer is asked by Hélène Hendriks why Marsman plays against Emmen. “The decisive factor was that Bijlow will go to Under-23 on Monday and hopefully will play three games,” said Attorney at Law. ESPN. “He is free of injuries now, he also did well in training. If he can last for fourteen days now, we will look at it again in fourteen days.” Hendriks responds by saying: “In other words, that would be a natural moment to apply that switch again.” Lawyer agrees: “That’s very well spoken of you.”

Furthermore, Advocaat still chooses Tyrell Malacia for the left back position. “The difference with Ridgeciano Haps? Very little. I already said three months ago that we have two left backs who are both very close to the Dutch national team. The problem with Haps is that it would be very unreal for Malacia to have that one now. So we just have to see what is possible in the coming games. It is of course difficult for that boy (Haps, ed.). He wants to make a transfer and he is a fantastic left back. It is difficult. “

To the surprise of many, Lutsharel Geertruida is not in the European Championship selection of the Juniors. “I have said it before: when I was national coach I always found it very annoying when trainers knew everything better”, Advocaat responds. “This trainer (Erwin van de Looi, ed.) Knows his group, knows who is there, so I can imagine that he will make a different choice.” Furthermore, Lawyer Emmen calls ‘a difficult team’. “They have brought in some good players. A few guys who were there last year. They have not lost the last four games. That does not mean that we just have to win.”
