The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven boss was pleased with the 3-1 win over NAC Breda and has asserted that his side will remain in the Eredivisie title hunt as long as they keep on winning.
Feyenoord Rotterdam manager, Ronald Koeman, was pleased with his side’s 3-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NAC-Breda-c39983 at De Kuip Stadion on Saturday, March 31.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 stalwart was all praise for his side’s effort, but admitted that they failed to assert their authority after the half-time break.
“It was pleasant to take the lead early on, but we failed to hold on to it. NAC were very vulnerable at the back and we did score two more before the half-time break. But I think we could have scored more, especially in the second-half. We never really played
to our potential. We took it all too easy after going up 3-1”, Koeman was quoted as saying to Nusport.nl.
The Rotterdammers took only three minutes to grab the lead through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kelvin-Leerdam-c20548 set up the midfielder inside the box, who made no mistake in finding the back of the net.
The lead lasted only 15 minutes, as Omer Bayram restored parity after being played in by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Kolk-c32507.
However, the fallen Eredivisie giants responded aggressively and re-established their one-goal lead in the 32nd minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ruben-Schaken-c31854.
Two became three moments before the half-time break. John Guidetti teed up Sekou Cisse inside the box, and the Ivorian ace made no mistake in adding his name to the score-sheet.
In the second-half, both sides failed to create anything of note and the match ended in a 3-1 win for the home side.
All three points depicted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258’s intent of not giving up on the Eredivisie title hunt. Occupying the fifth spot on the table, they are now only four points behind the current league leaders, Ajax Amsterdam.
Koeman has also insisted that his side’s hopes of lifting the title will remain alive as long as they keep on bagging maximum points.
“Well, as long as we keep winning, we will remain in the race for the title”, the Dutch trainer concluded.
