PREVIEW For each competition weekend glances sports reporters Charles Bromet and Mark Misérus ahead of the league. In Matchday 7 the question: Feyenoord poured himself permanently in crisis or is that still occur?

We’re going to pass in the seventh round of play. And already there is talk of a crisis. Is not that a little early?
Yes and no. Yes, if you look at the classic last Sunday. Feyenoord played soccer well against Ajax, but forgot to reward themselves. Based on the game showed in that game would you say nothing wrong, will be fine.

No, because the club dropped to 15th place in the ranking, with a gap of 10 points at PSV. Wednesday was a chance lost in the Cup of Go Ahead Eagles (2-0), which could not compete. Once in his strongest line-up What is worth all the applause after the narrow defeat against Ajax (1-0)?

Pretty much, we think. What is exactly is wrong with this Feyenoord
To Leo Beenhakker quote: Haben Sie eine Stunde ? It is of course started transfer policy of technical director Martin van Geel. Difficult to follow Feyenoord lost its spire and virtually the entire defense. Feyenoord then bought a goalkeeper, midfielders and a striker who is not a striker.

Coach Fred Rutten was not pleased, but he resigned himself to his fate and went to work. With a lot of luck he knew to the group stage of the Europa League pilots, after a goal in extremis from substitute Elvis Manu against Zorja Lugansk. Feyenoord

In the competition was only won once: the first match against ADO Den Haag, thanks to a goal in the final minute of Mitchell Peace. No, it does not determined. Rutten, a good companion of talent, but a little less gifted trainer result, the players now know to be aware of the need for tomorrow only victory counts against Go Ahead Eagles.

Is the players basically what to blame?
Wednesday in Deventer sure. It all has to do with hunger: hunger for success, hungry for results. Go Ahead wanted to go a round cup. At Feyenoord you got that impression for a moment.

At the end there were the obligatory equally as guilty quotes. Who went about shame and ‘look in the mirror look good. ” All well and good: that kind of thing you have to show, not tell. It is locked up in the club song: not words.

We Heard Martin van Geel recently not to say that Feyenoord had to compete for the national title?
Yes. And it is special: last season, when the club had managed to make the selection, and all conditions were present to perform in tact he did not take those words in the mouth. Van Geel, as he never forgets to emphasize countless millions earned by selling players. Chapeau before.

But when it comes to attracting players, his vizier often been blurred. John Goossens and Wesley Verhoek, Harmeet Singh and Omar Elabdellaoui: no, they were not exactly critical hits. Just to name a few. Admittedly, it does not come close to his mistake with Albert Luque, in his time as technical director of Ajax. But Van Geel has often been wrong.

The departure of Graziano Pellè that for months was to arrive, is not adequately covered. Dan Van Geel calls: we do not have the resources here to pick a striker format. Say it: who were we supposed to get?

But that’s his department. Then it comes down to something like inventiveness. Bas Dost will not? Too bad. Then it’s a good technical director job to surprise him with an alternative that nobody had thought of everyone. Has not happened. And that he may attract.

We heard Fred Rutten problems downplay Wednesday. That is understandable. But he has a point?
His statement that Go Ahead only danger founded in counters, was not strong. Apart from the fact that it was not right: that’s what makes the hell out? An opportunity is an opportunity, whatever it is created. Again: Go Ahead, playing without turuc, Kolder, De Sa and Schalk, gave everything. Feyenoord let it happen. So it was, and not otherwise.

Clear. What can we expect tomorrow night in Deventer?
A combative Feyenoord, which seems quite essential. Whoever stands for what tactics will be chosen: now has only one thing, profit. Rutten to task for his players to get. Inspired to start To his players the task to make something that looks like rehabilitation. Supporters Otherwise the situation there looks very tight spot.
