FEYENOORD LOOKING TO KEEP UP THE PRESSURE
Feyenoord lost any hope of the title last year after defeat in Roosendaal and the Rotterdammers will be hoping to make up for it this time at the Kuip Sunday. ‘We have to win the next six games and it doesn't matter how,' was what Bert van Marwijk had to say on the run in that Feyenoord hope will earn a place in next year's Champions League to face teams of the calibre of Real Madrid. 'I saw them during the week and I enjoyed it.You wonder how they can run rings round a top team like Manchester United.’
Feyenoord have lost a bit of form these past few weeks, but Van Marwijk is not so concerned. 'Even in the weaker games we showed what were capable of now and again.’ Van Marwijk will have to field an improvised midfield with Ono still injured and Paul Bosvelt suspended. ‘But we now have sufficient quality replacements. Acuña has shown that he does not weaken the team in any event.' So the Chilean will take over the role of the Japanese. Brett Emerton will most likely deputise for Paul Bosvelt, while Chong-Gug Song and Christian Gyan will battle for the rightback spot.
