Podcast | ‘Pusic, go inside and be a trainer’ | Dutch football

,,Feyenoord should in any case not bear the stamp of undisturbedness”, Wijffels begins about the incident with assistant coach Marino Pusic. ,,Look, he is in the heat of the game. But leave it to the players. Go inside. and be a trainer.”

And those players were angry again about Slavia Prague’s goal just before half-time. If there had been a VAR, the goal would have been disallowed. But yes, it wasn’t there. ,,If you do have a VAR in football, then it is crazy that UEFA creates a new tournament and then doesn’t use VAR. If you want to take the tournament seriously as UEFA, there’s no explaining that.”

Feyenoord drew 3-3 at home against Slavia Prague. PSV kept Leicester City 0-0 in England. Mvogo kept up with the Eindhoven team again and Drommel was banned to the bank. ,,PSV has to sell Drommel. That’s done. It’s the umpteenth time this season. I also think there is still a lot to be gained in the mental scouting of players. I once discussed this with Toon Gebrands. In Australia they pay a lot of attention to that.”

And finally, Wijffels will briefly return to the appointment of Ronald Koeman as national coach of Orange. He is busy filling in his staff. ‘Koeman and Koeman seem to be reunited at Orange.’ You can hear how that works in the AD Voetbalpodcast.
