Orkun Kökçü was disappointed after Feyenoord’s draw at Midtjylland (2-2). But the captain was also realistic. “Given the game picture, this result is justified.”
Kökçü appeared in front of Veronica’s camera and analyzed the match. The Feyenoord captain thought it was a shame that his team gave up the comfortable lead (0-2 at halftime). “Given the game image, a draw is justified, but if the goal falls so late, it is of course sour,” said the Turkish international.
He tried to explain why Feyenoord had such a hard time in Herning. “They put very good and high pressure. We didn’t hold the ball well enough. Me too. Then you just can’t get through,” said Kökçü, who left after an hour of play because of pain. “And if you then stand with your back against the wall, the goal will fall at any moment. ready to take that victory over the line.”
Coach Arne Slot also looked back on the evening in Herning. ,,If we are honest, I think we are the luckiest with the draw. We have been the lesser throughout the game and that we were leading 0-2 at half-time was a gift. That we were going to win was not yet a foregone conclusion,” said the Feyenoord trainer at Veronica. ,,If you still draw after such a lead, it is a disappointment. But that’s the only reason.”
Slot was critical of his team. ,,We still have a long way to go in terms of purity on the ball. Moreover, we cannot yet put pressure on the opponent in matches with this resistance, as we did last year.”
That is why the Feyenoord camp comes alive with a point. The team from Rotterdam retained the lead in group F.
