The double is after the cup shutdown no longer for Feyenoord, but that will Rotterdammers care less if the league title eventually be won. NEC puts in a good shape, but against Feyenoord at De Kuip is often nothing to start. Feyenoord make no mistake at the Nijmegen?
Feyenoord:
It is often said that the strength of the bank is decisive in the title race. In that respect, it looks for Feyenoord not so good. Giovanni van Bronckhorst actually been building all season to twelve players. Most thirteen when Lucas Woudenberg and Bilal Başaçıkoğlu classifies for half. Last Thursday in Arnhem again showed that Feyenoord can not afford many changes. Feyenoord played with Renato Tapia and Simon Gustafson in midfield for Tonny Vilhena and Dirk Kuyt. The difference turned out great, as the team from the Maas did express no punch and was knocked up. Moreover, it is not expected that Karim El Ahmadi there next week against FC Twente because Sunday he plays with Morocco against Egypt.
It is according to the coach’s best to turn off the disappointment of you by focusing immediately on the next game. “We can not dwell too long on. We do not euphoria and therefore not now after the defeat at Vitesse. We turn disappointment into drive. The competition lasts a long time, but we must win Sunday to keep our lead intact, “said Van Bronckhorst, who was disappointed in the alternate Vilhena and El Ahmadi. “You expect their replacements to do well, but it turns out that we still difficult to replace. So important they are. “The moment of Kenneth Vermeer comeback is getting closer. The keeper went into the preparation injuring his Achilles tendon and can now create minutes with the reserves. On the one hand it will be good for Feyenoord to have on hand an extra keeper. Par Hansson, after all, is of a lesser level. On the other hand Brad Jones is doing very well, making it a difficult choice for the coach.
Probable lineup Feyenoord
Jones; Karsdorp, Botteghin, Van der Heijden, Kongolo; Toornstra, Kuyt, Vilhena; Berghuis, Jørgensen, Elijah
NEC Nijmegen:
NEC seems to be completely out of the concern to ensure degradation in a short time. In the last six league games but were picked up thirteen points and almost all of them against direct competitors. Just before the winter break was beating ADO Den Haag (3-0) and a draw against Excelsior (2-2). After the winter they took the three points against Willem II (0-1) and Roda JC (2-0). The match against Feyenoord is actually a brief interruption, since then more will follow two games against direct competitors, Go Ahead Eagles and PEC Zwolle. NEC had last week on two penalty kicks sufficient to set aside Roda JC.
Both were scored by Gregor Breinburg, immediately before that game saw ricochet transfer to LA Galaxy. “For a moment I was disappointed and angry. Angry at NEC because they did not accept a second bid. But I had a good talk with the coach and could convert button. Remain at NEC is not a disaster, “said the match winner. Trainer Peter Hyballa will be the Jürgen Klopp of the Eredivisie. Not only in terms of positivity, but also in terms of tactics. “With loss of possession is all to reclaim the ball within four or five seconds. It is with Jürgen less about what you do with the ball, but especially what you do without ball. There is fitness and team spirit needed, “says Hyballa who has worked for some time with Klopp.
The coach put the pressure on his players, because NEC does not have to submit to the supremacy of Feyenoord, if it is to Hyballa. Hyballa “If pro to do it for this kind of games. You’re not a professional footballer to play for 3,000 men. Many boys see NEC as a transition team. Well, you have to perform in these games. Otherwise you have no business to a bigger club. In the Bundesliga there are always so many people. Moreover, they are still higher on the scouting lists as they do well. And we stay longer around this place in the rankings. ”
