“You can say it was a magical evening. And that is an understatement,” said the footballer in front of the camera of Veronica† “This is a really nice evening. We were confident that we could do this, but of course we are only halfway there.”
Feyenoord had a dream start, but saw the French undo a 2-0 deficit. “After the 2-0 you saw the quality of Marseille. When you see them make it 2-1, that was a fantastic shot.” Dessers also praised Payet.
“He did so well with the second goal. We know his qualities, but sometimes you just can’t stop him. We didn’t give much away in the first half, but they still scored twice. That’s too bad. But if you see how we recover that after rest. In the end it was just as exciting. All in all, I think we did well.”
When asked whether he wants to continue playing at Feyenoord, the footballer gave a clear answer: “Yes, certainly.”
