From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Stefan Ortega keeps Feyenoord in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Feyenoord turn down Twente for Noah Bout

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Feyenoord

Hwang In-Beom was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

One of those days for Givairo Read

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.58, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Jakub Moder

Marked 8.35 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Nacho Ferri in the eights

A performance of 8.35 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sem Steijn

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

No hiding place for Oussama Targhalline

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Oussama Targhalline, and the manager let it.

Match

Jakub Moder rescues a point for Feyenoord

It needed Jakub Moder to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Vitesse, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

In brief
