Feyenoord
Last weekend was for Feyenoord the away match in Enschede against FC Twente in the program. The Rotterdam began in 2017 with games against Roda JC, Willem II and NEC. FC Twente stood for Feyenoord last Sunday for the first time so a real opponent on the program, but the Rotterdam had no problem with the Enschede. FC Twente did not play badly at home against Feyenoord, but the Rotterdam arrived in the 75th minute lead as Eric Botteghin and ball from Eljero Elia shot within the piles. With fifteen minutes on the clock made the team of Giovanni van Bronckhorst are no and eventually took a shot from Nicolai Jørgensen’s goalkeeper for the decision.
Botteghin and Jørgensen were so accurate behalf Feyenoord in the Grolsch Veste, but afterwards were especially Jens Toornstra and Eljero Elia in the spotlight. When Toornstra after over an hour of play Dirk Kuyt relieved at Feyenoord went a lot better walking with visitors from Rotterdam. “By Jens gait we could play completely broken”, as had Van Bronckhorst seen. Besides Toornstra that his place by the return of Karim El Ahmadi was lost, there was too much focus on Eljero Elia. The winger scored seven times in his last fourteen league and gave seven assists. The 29 year old left winger was also important in Enschede with his assist for Feyenoord. “This was a very nice race for me. You have to be patient and then the goal itself, “as Elijah looked back on the match in Enschede.
The return of Karim El Ahmadi from the Africa Cup has thus ensured that Jens Toornstra the child’s account is at Feyenoord. The 27-year-old all-rounder is in his best season in the service of Rotterdam, but Van Bronckhorst natural to put in the bank an easy victim. Although Toornstra this season always neatly fielded as a reserve player left the former player of ADO Den Haag last week it appears that he expects a starting place at Feyenoord. “I am realistic enough. If I do not play well, I can understand it, but I was doing quite well, “as Toornstra spoke in the Grolsch Veste. Yet Toornstra also realizes that the Rotterdam with something pretty busy this season. “We are only doing what, so to get to than I have me here arranged in a reserve role.”
