The Boeren boss has urged his side to perform at their best against the Rotterdammers and avenge the 2-0 defeat at De Kuip Stadion earlier this season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam. The two Dutch giants will meet at Philips Stadion on Sunday, February 26.
The Eindhoven giants are currently sitting at the summit of the Eredivisie table, level on points with the second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar but boast a superior goal-difference.
Rutten has insisted that his side has got what it takes to become champions, but they must grind out good results consistently.
“We are sitting at the top, and want to remain at the top. We must win all of our remaining fixtures if we are to become champions”, the Dutch trainer was quoted as saying to the media.
The Rotterdammers would be without their star player, John Guidetti, who will sit out his suspension. The Eindhoven giants’ boss insisted that the Rotterdam giants will certainly miss the Manchester City loanee in this clash.
“Though Feyenoord have achieved good results this season, they have relied on individual performances. And I believe big clubs are not dependant on one player”, Rutten added.
PSV received a humiliating 2-0 defeat at the hands of their arch-rivals at De Kuip Stadion earlier this season on December 4, 2011. The Boeren failed to assert their authority and goals from Sekou Cisse and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ruben-Schaken-c31854 secured all three points for the
Rotterdammers at the end of 90 minutes.
However, the Dutch mentor is brimming with confidence coming into this match and has revealed that his side will try their level best to secure a win.
“We are portrayed the favourites to win in front of our home crowd. And we will certainly try to fulfil all the expectations”, Rutten concluded.
The Eindhoven giants have thus far performed impressively, and have yet to taste a defeat at home this season. They have won nine of their 10 home fixtures while the remaining match ended in a stalemate.
