Noa Lang’s achievements during the PSV ceremony did not go unnoticed in Belgium. The attacker, who has not played a match for months due to a hamstring injury, caused a stir by ‘warning’ Feyenoord about his return. He also tried to use an anti-Feyenoord song on Eindhoven’s Stadhuisplein. Luuk de Jong put a stop to this just in time, but people in Belgium still watched it with great amazement.
PSV paid 12.5 million euros last summer for the arrival of Lang, who had been active for Club Brugge since 2019. He quickly made himself popular at that club. Not only with his performance inside the lines, but also especially his smooth talk outside the lines. The attacker did not always think about this. “Anyone who pushes the edge is also in danger of going over it. Remember how Lang sang ‘Better dead than Sporting Jew’ at Club Brugge’s 2021 title celebration, a mocking reference to the supporters of rival Anderlecht”writes The last news.

Lang was not suspended at the time, but as an alternative punishment he had to visit the Dossin barracks in Mechelen, a former deportation camp that is now a museum about the Holocaust and atrocities during the Second World War. After honoring national champions PSV on Monday, the Belgian medium can only conclude that Lang ‘apparently has not learned his lesson’. “Because he soon ended up in a similar riot. Completely in his element, he said: ‘They are just…’. That is a well-known song among Ajax fans, who sing about arch-rival Feyenoord: ‘They’re just shitty cockroaches’. So you know what PSV supporters should have filled in”that’s what it sounds like.
However, De Jong managed to put a stop to that. “Captain De Jong realized with all his experience that it was time to pull the microphone from Lang’s hands. Fire extinguished quickly”so saw HLN. Long can thank De Jong. If the PSV captain had let his teammate have his way, the KNVB would probably have taken action. Jan Vertonghen started the anti-Feyenoord song after Ajax’s cup win in 2010, which resulted in a three-match suspension, one of which was conditional.
Feyenoord
Lang was already working on the new season during the ceremony. Which is not surprising, given his small share in PSV’s success this season. The attacker got off to a good start in Eindhoven, but suffered a hamstring injury in October and his hamstring continued to bother him. He played his last game at the end of January. Lang is keen on ‘revenge’ next season. “Look, I’m drinking a little, because I want to forget the pain. But I’m just proud of my team. We’ll be back next year and I’ll be in great shape”he said in front of the camera ESPNand then added a warning to Feyenoord. “First the Johan Cruijff Scale. Feyenoord…” The Rotterdam team won the KNVB Cup and will therefore compete with PSV in August for the first prize of the season. Last year the showdown ended in a 0-1 win for PSV. Goalscorer… Long.
