Fired trainers. A good start for Ajax in the Champions League. PSV, Feyenoord and AZ in action in Europe. These are the topics in the AD Voetbalpodcast. Etienne Verhoeff discusses it with Mikos Gouka, who is in Rome with Feyenoord.
“Ajax has done excellent business against Rangers,” Gouka’s analysis begins. ‘On paper the weakest opponent. Excellent for goal difference too. And given Liverpool’s defeat at Napoli, good too. Moreover, this Rangers on Ibrox will really take points. Giovanni van Bronckhorst just has to avoid being defeated again this weekend. Otherwise, that padel court may not be there in the future.’
PSV and Feyenoord come into action in the Europa League. AZ in the Conference League. A good moment for Feyenoord to measure visibility in Europe. ‘According to Arne Slot, last year’s Conference League group was also a Europe League group. Midtjylland and Sturm Graz are not bad opponents. But perhaps the duel with Lazio is comparable to Atlético Madrid last year. Feyenoord beat the Spaniards in the preparation and then it also fell apart. That was a turning point for the players. Lazio can also be a tipping point for Feyenoord.’
PSV and AZ are also discussed. And the wave of layoffs after the first matches in the Champions League. Who’s Next?
