Lock does not point to strikers
Arne Slot had found a draw an acceptable result. ,,But now it is a bad starting position. In my experience, we should have taken many more chances,” said the Feyenoord coach at Veronica. “In the second half, Sturm Graz started to play more opportunistically. Their field game was less, so they started playing the long ball more often. We defended that well, but we couldn’t get the ball to the ground enough to make the game ourselves.”
Feyenoord had many opportunities, especially in the first half. Danilo, who was preferred over Santiago Giménez, missed several opportunities. ,,When it comes to scoring goals, you don’t just look at strikers, but also, for example, at the wingers. Something is always the result of someone else. We managed quite well to get into the final phase of the attack, but then we were unable to take advantage of the great opportunities. In the final phase I also made a number of substitutions, I just don’t think it made it any better.”
