Feyenoord striker Dessers: who would have thought this at the beginning of the season?

Shortly after the away match against Olympique Marseille (0-0) on Thursday, Feyenoord striker Cyriel Dessers found it hard to believe that his team had qualified for the final of the Conference League. “Who would have expected this at the start of the season? PSV will be waiting again on Sunday, but we can now celebrate a small party. We are just going to the final in Tirana,” Dessers told Veronica.

Feyenoord hardly got into trouble in Marseille. The initial phase was the most difficult, Dessers said. This was mainly due to the smoke that lingered in the stadium after the fireworks were set off. “It was almost impossible to breathe,” continued Dessers. “After we survived that phase, there was a little more peace. We never really got into our game, that is also the merit of Marseille. But we fought and gave away few opportunities. In Rotterdam it will probably be one folk festival. fans too, they’ve supported us all season.”
