“We started badly against Excelsior. We got a goal against and there could even be two. We got away well and in the end we got better in our game with more chances. With a 1-2 lead we got more chances. But if you don’t use them, then you know you’ll get a hard time.”

Van Persie saw Excelsior shooting the post twice in the second half. He was satisfied with the raid from Jaden Slory who was allowed to replace Leon Sauer. Van Persie does not yet know who is the best replacement for the left winger left for Olympique Marseille Igor Paixão. “That’s why I want to see several players in that position,” he said.
