Ron Jans knew that Feyenoord would suffer from aches and pains after the match against Benfica. However, FC Utrecht was unable to properly secure the Rotterdam team.
“We of course watched the match against Benfica on Wednesday and said to each other ‘we are going to set the pace as high as possible, because they still have a match in their legs’. We also wanted to put pressure on and get the crowd behind us, which was also the case. Only then will you get that goal very quickly,” Jans opens at ESPN.
Just after halftime, Quinten Timber was allowed to shoot from the edge of the sixteen-meter area and Timber often scored. “First he turns away and he gets time to shoot. In fact, the ball can only go in the corner where it went. But you can also compliment the opponent for choosing the corner and not shooting blindly.”
