Eredivisie: Feyenoord's Road Ahead After Extended Hiatus
Eredivisie resumes for Feyenoord after an unusually long international break. With their last match on August 25 against Sparta ending in a disappointing draw, a return to competitiveness is essential. The team has not played for twenty days, and organizing a friendly was infeasible due to international duties.
Feyenoord did manage a practice match against their U21 team, winning 6-1, with Gernot Trauner returning and newcomer Facundo González debuting. Trauner and twelve other players participated in national fixtures, achieving significant victories. Key players like Ayase Ueda and Quinten Timber also showcased strong performances for their national teams.
Feyenoord now prepares to face FC Groningen, a newly promoted team that remains undefeated in their opening four matches and sits fourth in the standings. Historically, Feyenoord has struggled in recent meetings at FC Groningen, but victory is vital. Scheduled for Saturday at 18:45, this match is one Feyenoord must approach with determination.
