“You know this is a big game. We had to put in a lot of effort to get him over the line”, Slot continued. mmWe played more defensively and less attractively than in other matches. We hoped to be able to put higher and more aggressive pressure in advance, but that was very difficult before half-time. That also has to do with the qualities of the opponent. In the second half we came into our game better and we managed to stop it better.”
Slot liked to see images of cheering Feyenoord supporters in Rotterdam. “We made them very proud. Not only because of the result, but last Thursday in the home game also because of the way in which. Sometimes you also need a bit of luck to reach the final. Feyenoord against AS Roma is a great poster for a final.”
