“In the front there were three other players, maybe I should have left that by two or one,” says Van Persie. “But I thought it was a good time for a number of players to give them a base place.”
Faced with the question marks with the many switches, Van Persie laughs. ,, We are talking about players who don’t play every week. When will Gonçalo Borges play? When will Casper Tengstedt play? And then I let them play, and then the weather is not good. It is a cat-and-mouse game, but I like that. ”
Van Persie agrees with Captain Sem Steijn after having spoken to the game, who was quite critical shortly after the game against Braga. ,, But I speak with players around every match. Sem has given his opinion, I mine, “says the coach of the Rotterdammers.
,, It is annoying that he gave criticism so shortly after the game, but I have been used to it over the years. In terms of content, I was able to follow his message to a certain extent, but I would rather have seen that he had discussed some moments and would not name that word (selfish, ed.). Streep under it and we will continue. ”
Van Persie only misses the injured Thomas Beelen, Jakub Moder and Gernot Trauner in the Euroborg on Sunday.
