In Valentijn Driessen’s view, Ajax’s 0-13 victory over VVV-Venlo is ‘sad and sad’ and says a lot about the difference in quality in the Eredivisie. The chief football from The Telegraph therefore hopes that this record will stand forever. “Would Feyenoord have the level of Ajax or have just as good substitutes as in Amsterdam, then disdain for the Eredivisie after the 0-13 would be misplaced”, Driessen emphasizes in his column in the newspaper on Monday.

Driessen points out that Feyenoord’s precarious escape at RKC Waalwijk, 2-2 thanks to a late goal from Ridgeciano Haps, says more about the Rotterdam club than about the Eredivisie. “The media department in De Kuip tweeted jubilantly and proud that Feyenoord is unbeaten for a year due to the draw, one year since the appointment of Dick Advocaat. On paper clever, were it not that the previous competition was called off eight rounds before the end and this season is only six games underway, Lawyer never once met Ajax as an opponent and no one can remember one good match since the regime of The Little General in Rotterdam ”, he sums up.

“Perhaps the last game before the lockdown against Willem II (2-0). As a result, many suddenly thought that Feyenoord could become a threat to Ajax and AZ for the national title. Despite a six point backlog. ” Feyenoord’s media department quickly removed the tweet. “Rightly so, because after the breach against RKC it was just as misplaced as the thought of a championship last season. Feyenoord under Advocaat hurts the eyes more than it pleases the eye. ”

The 0-13 makes Driessen long for a quick realization of the BeNeLiga, although that will be difficult for various reasons. “Certainly at Feyenoord they will do everything to prevent such a cross-border competition”, the journalist thinks. An ordinary middle engine, where it is now considered a top club in the weak Eredivisie. ”

Feyenoord had the chance in Waalwijk to jump to third place over PSV and SC Heerenveen and to get one point behind leader Ajax. However, Feyenoord disappointed and could not survive against RKC. For Feyenoord it was already the third draw in the first six rounds. Lawyer was disappointed with the draw. “You can’t be satisfied after such a duel. It was sloppy and not good. Of course we had the best chances,” said the coach. FOX Sports. “But in the end we needed a great goal from Haps to equalize.”
