After last Sunday’s match between Feyenoord and PEC Zwolle, it is mainly about the atmosphere in De Kuip and the premature farewell that was said to Arne Slot. After briefly discussing the past three years among the trainer, it moved on to Dávid Hancko. The Slovakian shows that he can play effortlessly as a left back.
“I’m not easily impressed by that kind of thing, but I thought it was a very nice atmosphere,” Harry van der Laan begins in FC Rijnmond. “It also had to happen in this match. It was really a match that was suitable for it with a 5-0 victory and Gimenez who scored two. Slot played along well.”
Football supporters often receive negative news because of things that are done, but that was absolutely not necessary on Sunday evening. Sjoerd Mossou reminded the atmosphere of a moment with the trainer who will succeed Slot in Liverpool. “It was fantastic. I thought back to Dortmund where they said goodbye to Jurgen Klopp nine years ago. He was also greeted in a big way as a kind of hero. It is fantastic and it is of course exceptional that it happens like this for a trainer.”
The past three years under Slot. How special were they actually? “Very historic,” Mossou begins by describing. “I don’t think Feyenoord has performed so consistently since the 1970s. Not only with the prizes, but also in terms of football. The execution and recognisability of the game, that has rarely happened. This is really special. ” Van der Laan: “I think the only blemish is the matches against AS Roma. That is the only blemish on those three years, because you lose the final and are eliminated by them. In a way that you have the feeling that you have could win.”

Hancko once again made a good impression last match, as Mossou also saw. “If you list all of Arne Slot’s purchases, I think he is the best. If you compare everything with purchase price, age and the way he can play football in multiple positions.” Van der Laan also agrees and sees the Slovak enjoying himself even more in the last matches. “It seems like he also has a little more fun on the left side. A little more joy in the game and more forward. As a central defender you have to control a little more. He will really score goals and take risks in his game. Great that you you have such a guy, but of course you will lose him too.”
