Feyenoord postponed PSV's championship celebration on Thursday evening by winning 1-3 against Go Ahead Eagles. After the match, Gertjan Verbeek was extremely bothered by the behavior of one player. “I really hate these types of players!”
Feyenoord achieved a solid victory on Thursday evening. In the Adelaarshorst, coach Arne Slot's team was too strong 1-3 thanks to an own goal by goalkeeper Jeffrey de Lange and hits by Luka Ivanusec and Ayase Ueda.
After the match, Verbeek indicated that he was extremely annoyed by Bobby Adekanye. The Go Ahead Eagles attacker eagerly went to the ground several times in the hope of eliciting a penalty, but after the match he could count on great disgust from Verbeek in particular.
“He (Adekanye, ed.) is a boy who can play football so well, but is constantly making things worse because of his behavior,” the analyst begins. ESPN. “And I really hate players who mess things up.”
Adekanye himself indicated in an interview that he thought it was fifty-fifty balls and therefore not an obvious mistake, but Verbeek wants nothing to do with that. “These are not even one percent penalties. This is simply premeditated.”
“Every time there is nothing wrong at all. There are also a few violations that he claims, where he is supposedly seriously injured. Two seconds later he simply sprints back to the center line. At some point, referees will realize this,” said an irritated Verbeek.
Finally, the 61-year-old analyst advises Adekanye to avoid this behavior in future. “Soon he will be hit once, but then they will let play continue. He only has himself in this, I really don't understand that behavior. It's just playing football to provoke a foul. Just go play football, because you are so good at it!”
“Focus on scoring a goal, because you haven't done that yet,” is Verbeek's advice, who would like to end on a positive note. “He had a very nice assist today.”
