Starting a new season with the same match you ended the previous season with. Out to feyenoord for the Supercup.

Tense, we left Eindhoven in the direction of Rotterdam. After the trainer's discussion we started. In the first few minutes the game went up and down and there were few or no chances for either team. In the press they call it scanning. After about 25 minutes a throw-in for Feyenoord is the introduction to a lot of trouble for us. After the throw-in the ball reaches their No. 10 and he scores the 1-0 with a great shot out of reach of Zeus.
Now we have to open the attack. But until halftime there is no change in the score.

After the break we wanted to change our approach, but first Feyenoord got the ball to the ninth player after 50 minutes, after a long kick from their goalie.

We have to throw off all our shyness now. In minute 60 Clint hits the crossbar, and a bit later a shot by Bram is dangerous. In the 90th minute, we get a free kick and now Rai manages to bang the ball magisterially into the top corner and it is possible again.

In the remaining injury time (7 minutes) we actually do everything we should have done the whole match. We are dangerous and force chances and put the opponent under pressure. To no avail and the referee blows the whistle after 98 minutes. The defeat is a fact.

Fortunately, next Wednesday we get the chance to forget about it quickly because then we have our first league game, away to Amsterdam, Ajax. No need for motivation. Good luck.
