Willem II will reflect on loneliness this weekend

Willem II’s shirt will not feature a sponsor name this weekend, but the slogan ‘II is better than I’. The Tilburg club wants to draw attention to people who struggle with loneliness.

Defender Amine Lachkar posed with the shirt.

Priske knows Feyenoord’s place in ‘food chain’

Juventus would like to take over David Hancko this winter. How does Feyenoord coach Brian Priske view such a possible winter transfer? “As a Dutch club, there are competitions that are still above us, so players will dream of a step. We also want to have the best team possible after the winter and David is of course part of that.”

But Priske does not dare to say whether Hancko will actually be keepable. “It is part of Feyenoord that you have to sell to an international top club with the right offer. But of course we want to keep David.”

PSV and Feyenoord met in August in the Johan Cruijff Scale. Then Feyenoord won on penalties. How does Priske view the development of his team since that match?

“We are on the right track,” said the Dane. “Offensively and defensively, things are going in the direction we want. However, I am disappointed with a number of unnecessary draws. That is why we still have to take steps after the winter break.”

Will Berghuis make it to Sparta – Ajax?

Ajax coach Francesco Farioli replaced Steven Berghuis yesterday during halftime of the cup match against Telstar. The left leg appeared to be suffering from his Achilles tendon, Farioli told VI. “Steven got a knock, he had some problems with his Achilles tendon. That’s why I substituted him at half time. We have to wait and see if he is available on Sunday.”

Berghuis is struggling with his form after his return after a serious injury. “It is always difficult to fit in with the rhythm of the team, because he was out for three months. All the others have a certain rhythm, the train was already going 200 kilometers per hour, so to jump in is not easy .”

Maduro responds after being fired from Almere City

Hedwiges Maduro was fired by Almere City this week. His first season as an independent head coach ended prematurely.

Today he posted a message on Instagram. “As a boy of the club and as a boy of the city, it hurts me to have to leave this club,” Maduro wrote. “I gave everything and tried to help Almere City further. Unfortunately, this did not work out for explainable reasons.”

“I would like to thank Almere City FC for the opportunity they have given me to grow into an even better coach. Personally, I only think about growth. Wanting to get better. That is why I see this as a snapshot. I take this experience and I will take the lessons I learned with me into the future. For now it is time to evaluate and, above all, to self-reflect.”

Almere City collected six points under Maduro and is last in the Premier League. By ‘explainable reasons’, Maduro is probably referring to the many injuries his players had to deal with.

Lozano’s silent departure from PSV, or can he do something special against Feyenoord?

“I’m going to miss everyone at the club,” says Hirving Lozano on the eve of his departure from PSV. The 29-year-old Mexican will leave for American San Diego FC in January. The last match in his second period in Eindhoven will be the home game against Feyenoord on Sunday, if he gets playing time.

As fiery as Lozano’s first period was, his second term in Eindhoven will most likely end quietly. Or the 29-year-old Mexican will suddenly have to come up with something special in the upcoming top match against Feyenoord. Such as his hat trick against Ajax on October 29, 2023 (5-2) or a winning goal in the final seconds.
