Introduction

Feyenoord is a professional football club from Rotterdam, Netherlands. The club is historically one of the three clubs that have dominated the first tier of Dutch football, the others being Ajax and PSV. These three clubs (along with FC Utrecht and Roda JC) are the only clubs never to have been relegated from the Dutch Eredivisie. In domestic competition, Feyenoord has won 14 Dutch Championships 11 Dutch Cups and two Dutch Supercups, in addition to the European Cup, two Uefa Cups and the Intercontinental cup.

So, I'm back with another story but this time, I'm staying committed. Feyenoord haven't been as much of a force in Holland as they would've liked, and that's why I've selected this team- to become the dominant club, both nationally and on a European front. With the young, vibrant squad that I posses, I certainly acknowledge the fact that we have the potential to succeed.

Key Players

All young yet so important to the team. Stefan de Vrij and Bruno Martins Indi will be main players at the back, whether they play in centre back or full back positions. Slightly further forward, Jordy Clasie will be the midfield maestro (I hope!).

------------------------------

So there we have it, next update should be at the end of August where I will talk about transfers and my start to the season!

Transfers

View attachment 366424

So not much happened here really! Had a tight budget so couldn't bring many people in, though I do feel Alexander Milosevic will really add something to the team. Like most players here, he's a man with good potential and I hope he will be able to work well with the likes of De Vrij and Martins Indi.

Eredivisie

Feyenoord 2
-0 Utrecht
Immers(6,83)

Perfect start to the season, easy win!

----------------------------------

Willem II 0
-2 Feyenoord
Immers (80), Leerdam (88)

2 Goals in the last 10 minutes of the game sealed the win. Better late than never.

---------------------------------

Feyenoord 0
-0 Vitesse

Ideally would have wanted the win here, but a draw will do, as Vitesse are a good team in this league.

--------------------------------------

sc Heerenveen 1-2 Feyenoord
Wszolek(21)-Mokotjo (76), Cisse (90+3)

Phew! Went into this game expecting the victory, and when they scored early on I had a bad feeling about losing or not getting the 3 points. 2 late goals changed that!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Champions League

3rd Qualifying Round
1st Leg

Panathanaikos 1-3 Feyenoord
Figueroa(58) - De Vrij (22), Mokotjo (26), Achahbar(70)

A very good result away from home against a top team in Greece.

--------------------------------------

2nd Leg

Feyenoord 5
-1 Panathanaikos
De Vrij (5), Goosens (23), Dimitranopuolos OG (56), Immers (72), Clasie (77)-Boumsong (19)

Aggregate: 8-2

Fantastic! Didn't expect to win this comfortably at all, probably should have scored more but I'll settle for 5!

--------------------------------------

Playoff Round
1st Leg

Feyenoord 0-1 Lille
Mavuba

Was expecting a tough game here but I was slightly disappointed at the fact we failed to score.

--------------------------------------

2nd Leg

Lille 1-1 Feyenoord
de Melo (76) - Verhoek (48)

Aggregate: 2-1

Gutted! Thought it was going to be our day after Verhoek scored just after half time, but it wasn't to be. Europa League it is!

Eredivisie

Zwolle 0-3 Feyenoord
Goosens (15, 72), Pelle (27)

Dominated from start to finish. A routine win.

--------------------------------------

Feyenoord 2-1 NEC
Vormer (31), Pelle (51)
- Falkenburg (33)

Got quite lucky here to be honest. But a win is a win and I'll happily take the 3 points!

--------------------------------------

Feyenoord 1
-2 VVV
Verhoek (26) - Maguire (25), Quekel (47)

When we are playing the club predicted to finish near the bottom we expect a win. Perhaps complacency was an issue.

-----------------------------------------------------

Dutch Cup

2nd Round

Feyenoord 2-0 De Treffers
Immers (25,45)

We got the win we expected today. Played a weaker team than I will normally do but we delivered.

-----------------------------------------------------

Europa League

Athletic Bilbao 2-0 Feyenoord
Llorente (65), San Jose (67)

2 quickfire goals from Bilbao cost us. Not that annoyed though, Bilbao have a better team on paper and it was away from home. I get the feeling my home games in this group will be vital.

Eredivisie


RKC 0-3 Feyenoord
Cisse (16, 82), Kongolo (29)

Good win aided by a red card for them early on.

--------------------------------------

Heracles 0-
1 Feyenoord
Goossens (55)

We could have scored more but, in fairness they should have scored too!

---------------------------------------

Feyenoord 2-1 PSV
Pelle (33), de Vrij (83) - Matavz (88)

Best win of the season! Always difficult against potential title rivals but we played magnificently!

---------------------------------------

Dutch Cup

3rd Round

Willem II 2-4 Feyenoord
Brands (1), Vossebelt (70)-Mokotjo (32), Vormer (34), Goossens (66), Nelom (81)

High scoring game, we were comfortable in the end. We play RKC in the 4th round.

---------------------------------------

Europa League

Feyenoord 2-4 Newcastle
Pelle (53), Immers (60) - Cisse (21), Vukic (50), Santon (51), Cabaye (79)

Dissapointed. We were 3-0 down and we brought it back to 3-2. I thought we were going to pull off an amazing comeback but it wasn't to be.

---------------------------------------

Feyenoord 4
-0 Fenerbache
Pelle (7), Goossens (37, 85), Vormer (48)

That's more like it! Still got a lot to do to get through.

Solid start in the league mate, good to see Vitesse hot on your heels ;)
 
Would love to see Ajax doing better, would be some epic clashes.

Eredivisie

Feyenoord 0-0 Ajax

The fierce derby turned out to be a non event. At least we didn't lose!

--------------------------------------

Roda JC 0-1 Feyenoord
Verhoek (65)

Okay, so we might not be scoring loads of goals but if we are winning I don't care!

--------------------------------------

Feyenoord 2-2 FC Twente
Clasie (64, 77) - Bulykin (49), Castaignos (87)

Gutted that we couldn't hold on for the win against our rivals for the title.

--------------------------------------

ADO Den Haag 0-3 Feyenoord
Pelle (47), Leerdam (70), Verhoek (76)

Great away win here, did all the work in the second half.

--------------------------------------

Feyenoord 1-1 AZ
Goossens (48) - Altidore (39)

So the end of a tough month in the league. 3 draws but they were all against top teams.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Europa League

Fenerbache 2-0 Feyenoord
Korkmaz (56), Topuz (67)

Was expecting a win so I'm really annoyed at our performance here.

--------------------------------------

Feyenoord 2-1 Athletic Bilbao
Pelle (49), Kongolo (62) - Kongolo OG (87)

Now that is more like it! The battle for 2nd place in this group will go down to the wire.

Eredivisie

FC Gronigen 0-1 Feyenoord
Singh (24)

Another clean sheet!

--------------------------------------

Feyenoord 3-0 NAC Breda
Pelle (53, 58), ten Rowelaar OG (69)

Dominated this game. 30 shots to 3.

--------------------------------------

FC Utrecht 1-2 Feyenoord
Duplan (52) - de Vrij (32), Goossens (89)

This season's surprise package gave us a really good game. Luckily we got a late goal which could prove so important!

--------------------------------------

Feyenoord 4-1 Willem II
Nelom (4), Vilhena (45), Milosevic (86), Indi (89) - Cornellisse (73)

Great game. Wonderkid Tonny Vilhena scored his first goal too.

--------------------------------------

Vitesse 5-0 Feyenoord

Janssen (8), Ibarra (22, 61), Bony (51), Hamad (90+2)

The less said about this game the better.

--------------------------------------

Dutch Cup (4th Rnd)


RKC 1-0 Feyenoord
Chevalier (22)

Felt we had a great chance of winning the cup so to go out so early is disappointing.

--------------------------------------

Europa League


Newcastle 4-0 Feyenoord
Obertan (18, 81), Debuchy (59), Cisse (63)

OK, maybe the picture at the top of this post is justified. Athletic won anyway so this result wouldn't have mattered either way.

Harsh losses against Vitesse, Newcastle and RKC. In the positive side, you now just have to focus on the league, so you will probably win it with ease.

TRANSFER NEWS!

I'm very pleased to announce that we have signed Carlos Fierro from Chivas, for a fee of £5m. Delighted with this, he can slot straight into the first team and will become an absolute god of a player.

View attachment 366882

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eredivisie

Feyenoord 3-1 sc Heerenveen
Janmaat (12), de Vrij (32), Goossens (45) - Djuricic (88)

A comfortable victory, a late goal stopped us getting a clean sheet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEC 1-3 Feyenoord
Foor (41) - Verhoek(3), Clasie (18), Pelle (48)

Excellent away performance.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feyenoord 1-0 Zwolle
Pelle (13)

A win against the strugglers overshadowed by injuries to de Vrij and Janmaat. Luckily not too serious.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feyenoord 2-0 RKC
Goossens (9), Pelle (39)

We got our revenge over the team that knocked us out of the cup.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


VVV 0-3 Feyenoord

Vilhena (14), Fierro (57, 60)

All the goals scored by 18 year olds. Fierro gets his first 2 in a Feyenoord shirt!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PSV 3-2 Feyenoord
Mertens (31, 58, 89) - Pelle (24), Vormer (61)

We were so unlucky. Mertens' hat trick isn't as impressive as it seems and Clasie is out for the remainder of the season.

Thoughts guys? Anything I could do to make things better? I hope there's a lot of silent readers out there :)
 
The story is very well written and I'm enjoying it so far :) Keep it up!

Just going to say that Clasie's mental attributes are f**king incredible!!!

Feyenoord are my favourite Dutch club so I am following :).

Just out of curiosity, what tactic/formation are you using?
