Yes, FC Twente coach Ron Jans swears: Ramiz Zerrouki is really sick. And so a doubt for Tuesday’s cup match against Telstar. The flu virus prevails within the selection anyway, because two more players have been felled.
Call it coincidence. Call it striking. But precisely the most discussed player of the past few days was missing on Monday at the closing training for the game against Telstar. “Ramiz already had flu symptoms this weekend,” said Jans. Whether he can play is still unclear.
Zerrouki is in the explicit interest of Feyenoord, but FC Twente refuses to sell one of the best players to a competitor in the middle of the season. ,,Ramiz is a good player and a nice personality. We want to offer him the chance to find a nice club in the summer. Feyenoord already had the chance to take him over last summer, but then they did not want to pay the amount we asked. A transfer is now out of the question. Feyenoord is 3 points above us, we really won’t let him go.”
Anyone who is not there at FC Twente anyway is Michal Sadilek. “That was already known in advance. He is in a three-day treatment for his tinnitus,” says Jans, who therefore has to start puzzling in midfield.
