Pierre van Hooijdonk was asked questions in Studio Voetbal on Sunday evening about the sporting future of his son Sydney, who is well on his way to SC Heerenveen. Pi-Air kept it short and cryptic, but indeed seemed to confirm the imminent arrival of the Bologna striker.
Van Hooijdonk junior exchanged NAC Breda for I Felsinei last summer, but in his first Serie A season, it mainly has to rely on short substitutes and has not been in action since November 7. De Leeuwarder Courant reported on Friday that Heerenveen is almost out with the striker, who must come over on a rental basis. His father’s comment spoke volumes. “The chance is almost as great that the ball was out,” said Van Hooijdonk with a wink, referring to the most discussed moment during PSV-Ajax.
The 21-year-old from Breda had a strong year last season with sixteen goals, which, however, was noisy. It did not work out between Van Hooijdonk and trainer Maurice Steijn, who at the end of October reacted to the criticism that Van Hooijdonk gave to him in conversation with VoetbalPrimeur. “I can’t guarantee any player a starting spot, but that was demanded from his side. If he didn’t play, he constantly wanted to leave. In fact, his environment even wanted NAC to pay a fine if he didn’t play a certain number of games. play,” he said.
