Feyenoord-Excelsior derby |
08
Mar 2003
|
Excelsior
receive big-brother Feyenoord tonight in an interesting Rotterdam derby.
Excelsior's squad is a combination of second rate players combined
with Feyenoord talents that are unable to secure a first team place with
the UEFA Cup holder but who will do their utmost this evening to
impress, hoping for a quick return to 'De Kuip'. Excelsior are
forced to miss 5 of their key players tonight. Four players are
hampered by
injuries ( Michel Breuer, Civard Sprockel, Bart Fiegel and Dennis Jos) and
Leo Koswal is suspended for tonight's confrontation. Excelsior trainer Coster
has also seen his team drop to 15th place after a good run at the
beggining of the season and they are
now just one place outside the relegation play-off
zone. "The only way we can turn around our poor run is by
working hard as a squad. With matches against Feyenoord and Ajax every point you get is
profit, but normally those teams are too strong. We must work hard in the coming weeks and make the team ready
for the more important matches against other relegation candidates like
Groningen and Zwolle."
Excelsior can find some encouragement in the fact that Feyeoord are also
faced with a number of injuries in their sqaud. Gerard de Nooijer
will have to miss tonighth's match after bruising ribs in Feyenoord's
3-1 Amstel Cup win over Vitesse forcing Patrick Paauwe to move up to
midfield.
Feyenoord trainer Bert van Marwijk stated that this was a real setback
for Feyenoord.
