Coach Robin van Persie’s team has the same number of points as PSV, but a goal difference that is two goals better. Match winner Ismael Saibari expects a fierce battle between Feyenoord and PSV for the national title. “It will be a very nice battle. Feyenoord also has a good team. So we must not weaken for a moment. If they weaken, we will stand there. If we weaken, they will step up.”
Luciano Valente is disappointed with the miss, but also lost in the top match against PSV’s best Feyenoord player
And PSV coach Peter Bosz is also counting on a long-term battle. “I think these are the two best teams at the moment. Feyenoord has been doing well over a longer period of time. We have experienced firsthand how tough it is to play against Feyenoord, but we have also shown that we can play against them. In their stadium we were able and dared to play very dominantly at times. I think it’s going to be really exciting and it’s going to be a question of who will make the fewest mistakes. We made a big mistake against Telstar. You shouldn’t have too much of that, because you can’t afford that.”
