Never heard a sweeter sounding word than Feyenoord part 2

question for Feyenoord fans.. rumors have it that Guyon Fernandez could be of Honduras descent thanks in part by his father and grandfather who are Hondurans. If true, he could be called-up for the Honduran NT rather quickly due to the poor depth of strikers uptop for Honduras currently.

so the question basically is.. is his father/grandfather Honduran?? is he Honduran at all??

 

It's possible that he is partly of Honduras descent, but Guyon was called up for the NT of Curacao not long ago and he turned them down so I don't know how much chance Honduras has to snap him up. He probably feels all the travelling will hurt his chances for Feyenoord.

 

Honduras NT is a significant step-up from the Curacao NT. First we need to know whether he has any Honduran blood in him, then begin to inquire whether a World Cup qualifying side may spark his interest as to kicking off a potential International career.

 

Watching the FC Dordrecht - Feyenoord match online. 1-4 at the half to Feyenoord. Here was the starting lineup in a 4-4-2 formation:

Mulder​

Janmaat, de Vrij, BMI, Nelom​

Leerdam, Clasie, Immers, Vilhena​

Cisse, Schaken​

Midfield was 4-man diamond with Clasie at bottom, Immers at top, Vilhena left and Leerdam right.​

​

Scoring:​

12' 0-1 Cisse set up by Schaken​

~18' 1-1​

35' 1-2 Schaken set up by Cisse​

40' 1-3 Cisse set up by Clasie​

42' 1-4 Cisse set up by Schaken​

​

​

​

 

And it ends 1-5 with Achabar scoring in the 74th minute from a setup by Guyon Fernandez. Here is the second half lineup:

Mulder​

Janmaat, Vlaar, Ramsteijn, Kongolo​

Omar E, Vormer, Singh, Cabral​

Guyon, te Vrede​

54' Achabar replaces te Vrede
64' Mokotjo replaces Janmaat

 

Wijnaldum always made the impression of a good kid to me. He donated money to the feyenoord acadamy from his transfer to PSV for crying out loud.
So what if Makaay sends him an -SMS- with a tip or comment. Its not as if Makaay is spending business hours analysing Wijnaldum,
Bigger demons to worry about..

 

There are Open Day photos here: http://www.feyenoord.nl/pages/newsdetail/S1/10010000040564-999-10010000000003.aspx
but I don't see any video links. You might try a search of youtube. Usually some Feyenoord fans post videos.

 

Final pre-season friendly ends 0-0 Feyenoord v RCD Mallorca.

Starting lineup:
Mulder
Leerdam, de Vrij, Vlaar, Bruno Martins-Indi
Vormer, Clasie
Schaken, Immers, Cisse
Fernandez

Second half saw Janmaat in for Leerdam (45')
Singh in for Vormer (65')
Omar E in for Cisse (74')
Cabral in for Schaken (74')

But, everyone forgot their shooting boots. Lots of long-range, off-target shots. Immers missed the most chances.

 

They have a certain kid called Vilhena on the bench that would know what to do with all those chances. I mean the one he got before the brake was pretty inexcusable to miss. The sooner Vilhena grabs his chance the better. On the other hand I wonder how Acha boy would turn out there.

 

In the Mallorca game Omar Elabdellaoui made a very good impression on me, very skillfull and tacticly aware. Very curious how he will be used in the team. Pitbull Clasie once again MoTM for me, breaking every possible counterattack and pressuring Mallorca very high up on the pitch like very few others can.
What suprised me most though was how un-friendly the game was. Very rough and at numerous times dirty. Though thats what you get with Mallorca these last few years.

 

Agree but his weird pass to that Mallorca player is a point of improvement. In his position and to become absolute top he needs to work on those mental lapses also. Koeman didn't understand it as well. He has those passing inaccuracies at times. People's expectations will be higher this year. It is always a nervy business if the player you want to do good is able to continue his grow and can answer to in creased responsibility weighing in his shoulders.

 

Vlaar gone to Aston Villa for 4mil

 

same here, very weird move. Especially since Feyenoord already has way to many midfielders and tons of upcoming talent that will be way better than Immers. There many weak point is the lack of a real striker and the wingers, but almost no reinforcements are made on that part.

 

Well thats a shame. I had the feeling he'd leave but am a little bit suprised he went with Aston Villa still. Hope our defenders can stay relatively injury free this season, they'll need it.
And ofcourse I wouldnt be horribly against a bought reinforcement for him, but thats not going to happen.

So unless im missing anyone, these are our defenders for this season. Pretty huge amount of talent, and dispite young age most of them have proved to be unafraid. Im excited to see how it works out.
Oh and Mokotjo ofcourse is a midfielder we use as a defender when in need, so i included him.

Defender - age - progamesplayedtotal (In order of pro-games played total)
Janmaat - 23 - 109
Leerdam - 22 - 86
De Vrij - 20 - 77
Mokotjo - 21 - 60
Nelom - 21 - 54
Martins Indi - 20 - 44
Ramstein - 22 - 32
Schenkeveld - 20 - 17
Kongolo - 18 - 1

 

Losing Vlaar will hurt in the short term, but this now gives another youngster a spot for full-time action. Kongolo, Nelom and Ramsteijn are the three who will benefit the most initially.

 

And more importantly it could free up some money for a much needed striker.

 

Yes it would. Question is, who? I was wondering how much Twente were offering to Inter for Castaignos. Probably >>4m.
