Squad20 Aug 2035

Timon Wellenreuther keeps Feyenoord in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad20 Aug 2035

Izu Onunta breaks a bone — 37 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 37 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad20 Aug 2035

Givairo Read in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Feyenoord this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market20 Aug 2035

Steven Simons is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Feyenoord is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad20 Aug 2035

Bashir Humphreys falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match18 Aug 2035

Feyenoord see off Excelsior

Three points for Feyenoord, 3‑1 the final word against Excelsior in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings20 Aug 2035

Leo Sauer in the eights

A performance of 8.84 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market20 Aug 2035

Willem II are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Feyenoord will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Player ratings20 Aug 2035

Luciano Valente was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.54. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad7 Aug 2034

Troy Moses damages knee ligaments — 96 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 96 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad7 Aug 2034

A fracture rules Marten Gakpo out for 26 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Feyenoord will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad7 Aug 2034

Thomas Beelen has been here 9 seasons

70 appearances across 9 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Market7 Aug 2034

Oussama Targhalline wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Feyenoord hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Market7 Aug 2034

Beer Vijfhuizen hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Feyenoord can pretend not to have heard.

Timon Wellenreuther in a row with a teammate
