Feyenoord captain Justin Bijlow will probably want to forget the home game against Vitesse quickly. He made a mistake at the 0-1 and afterwards had no choice but to put his hand in his own bosom. “Obviously this was my fault.”

For almost 70 minutes, both Feyenoord and Vitesse could not make the difference in a moderate topper between the number 3 and 4 of the Eredivisie, respectively. Until Lois Openda was sent into the depths. The Belgian got involved in a sprint duel with Feyenoord back Marcus Pedersen, when goalkeeper Bijlow suddenly got in his way. Openda took full advantage by sliding in the only goal of the game.
,,This match could go either way”, Bijlow started his analysis at ESPN, before quickly donning the robes. ,,With a moment of mine, I let the team down. When I stood there, I thought: I shouldn’t be here, but then you can’t go back. This is just bad. Both teams didn’t have any great chances and then it’s decided on details. It fell on Vitesse’s side. This was of course my fault.”
Arne Slot
,,I don’t think he had to come out, because Marcus Pedersen was still running. But he also said that himself,” said Feyenoord coach Arne Slot about Bijlow’s mistake. ,,It was a very decisive moment in the game, but it should have been better with us on the ball. We wouldn’t have done that. having to end up in that situation”, Slot did not want to just lay the defeat on his keeper. The trainer thought that his wingers Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Reiss Nelson brought too little. “They played unhappily. You hope for a whim. But it is also too easy to point to the wingers alone.”
Gus Til
Midfielder Guus Til thought that Feyenoord had to blame for the defeat. ,,It just wasn’t great today”, said the international. “Although I didn’t think this match really deserved a winner.”
Til did not think that the bad resumption of the Eredivisie could be blamed on the difficult start of this year. Feyenoord canceled a training camp in Spain due to many corona infections. ,,Everyone has to deal with that, you can’t put it on that,’ said Til. ,,But it is a false start, for sure. We are now between PSV and Ajax on the one hand and Vitesse on the other. The results of the other clubs are now decisive for us.”
