I thought Renato played a good match and was a bit unlucky with his attempts on goal. He could have a goal with a bit more luck. They lost the match only because of a 2 minutes explosion of the opponent. For the rest it was Willem II that ruled the game, but sometimes you have one of those days it's not going your way.

https://www.ad.nl/nederlands-voetba...-bij-willem-ii-krijg-ik-alle-ruimte~a72f12ec/ Use google translate. Streetfootballer Tapia blossoms in Tilburg. At WillemII I'm given all the space (=freedom).
Pretty good article on Tapia.. He got more freedom to use his skills on Willem II.. A lot of his struggle at Feyenoord gotta to do with not being on Gio's best side.. His wife seems to be very adjusted to life in the Netherlands!.. Tapia still nostalgic about coming back to Peru every chance he gets.
En Marzo voy a estar por Holanda. Viendo el calendario, justo un dia antes que me regrese Tapia juega contra su ex-equipo en Feyernood. Voy a ver si logro ir a ese partido, esta a solo 2 horas y media en tren desde Amsterdam pero lo malo es que el partido es a las 8:45 hora local. No se si chape tren de regreso tan tarde y mi vuelo es temprano al siguiente dia..
You can plan your traintrips here. It is important to check for unexpected delays, but at least you know them and can adjust for it. https://www.ns.nl/en Here is the site for bus transport: https://9292.nl/en
The match according to Feyenoord is an hour earlier! You can plan your travel with trains here: https://www.ns.nl/reisplanner#/reisdetails?vertrek=Amsterdam Centraal&vertrektype=treinstation&aankomst=Rotterdam Centraal&aankomsttype=treinstation&type=aankomst&tijd=2019-03-09T19:00&verbergHSL=true&_requesttime=1549887014071&hash=-1373231517 Good to check on the day itself for problems, so you can adjust the route to Rotterdam and the stadium. I made a print of how it looks like below. If you have a question, I'll try to help you. For the ride to the stadium on match days there are special trams going to the stadium from Rotterdam Central Station every 5 minutes I think. Ticket you can buy in the tram itself for 3 €€ iirc.
When you want to be in the stadium in time you have to take the 17:49 train. The tram takes about 15 minutes to the stadium. So you have about 20 minutes to go to your spot. Best is to go an hour earlier and have something to eat in Rotterdam. You never know if there will be delays and then it sucks if you come in half way the match. Return trains are going well after the match, so you donot need to worry about that if you're going back immediately after the match. The last train goes well beyond midnight.
Great info! I really appreciate it. I'll be at the Ajax game on the 10th against Fortuna Sittard, it would be great to catch a game at Feyernood before coming back.
By the way, it's sensible to get your tickets in time as there's always the strong possibility it sells out. Of the 50 000 seats about 30 000 are season tickets. Matches are almost always around 48 000 sold, but Feyenoord has a cup semi against Ajax in the week before iirc. If Feyenoord wins that the chances are about 100% the stadium will sell out to celebrate it. So normally the margin for visitors to buy a ticket are already small ( about 2000 tickets), but in a win over Ajax the next match is going to cause a run for the free sale tickets.
Good to know, I have a friend in Munich that I was thinking of visiting while I'm there, quick one day trip before heading back to Amsterdam for my return flight but I havent decided if I'll head there Thursday night or Friday night. Given what you said about the cup game and the possibility of a sellout then I'll probably make sure I'm back in time for the Feyernood game.

Willem II – AZ 2-1 Willem II: Wellenreuther 7,5; Heerkens 7, Meissner 6,5, Peters 6,5 Palacios 7; Llonch 6,5, Crowley 7,5 (68. Anita -), Tapia 7 (81. Saddiki -); Dankerlui 7,5, Isak 6,5 (90.

Johnsen 5), Vlaar 5, Koopmeiners 5, Ouwejan 5,5; Maher 6, Til 6, Midtsjø 5,5; Stengs 5, Seuntjens 5, Idrissi 4 Scheidsrechter: Dieperink 6,5 Man of the match: Niet Alexander Isak maar Marios Vrousai ontpopt zich als dé winteraanwinst van Willem II. De Griek scoorde tegen wéér. Zijn derde goal in zes wedstrijden. It was the second time Willem II did beat AZ this season. The most important match against AZ however is this week in the semi cup final. AZ players have sworn they willnot be beaten a third time. Well, we will see. Renato has gotten a very good rating in this match and has with his team mates absorped a huge load of confidence. The whole team really got very high ratings, while AZ didnot.
From the highlights I would say this wasn't as good as a game as previously. Nonetheless it was a good showing for our starting DM.

Extra time 4 minutes and Renato just cannot reach the ball near the post to score with just 1 minute left. Penalties.
Tapia regalando una jugada de peligro para el AZ Alkmaar tirando un taco en el borde del area ... Quien le dijo que se podian hacer lujos en la mitad de cancha o en el area? ... Tapia es talentoso pero es poco inteligente y criterioso ... hay lugares para hacer lujos y hay lugares donde nunca se deben hacer ... Por eso, para mi, Pedro Aquino es superior a el ...
Wellenreuther stops first penalty in the semi cup final! Edit: and he stops nr.2 Edit: and he stops nr. 3. Bjorn has to score for AZ and hits the post. AZ out and Willem II to the Final.
Buen Partido de Tapia y WillemII a la final de la copa de Holanda (KNVB Beker). me hubiera gustado que se cobre la revancha ante su aun club Feyenoord en la final pero lamentablemente este fue vapuleado pro el Ajax. de todos modos, Ajax sera un durisimo rival, no por nada esta ahora mismo en octavos de liga de campeones.
