Champions League: Hancko grabbed his head. Feyenoord needs a miracle

Bratislava, Rotterdam. The referee whistled the end of the match and David Hancko immediately grabbed his head. He was at the tip and looked into the ground. He mourned, angry and was disappointed.

His Feyenoord Rotterdam lost at home with Milan 0: 2 in the first match of the Champions League eight -final.

“Of course, we are not satisfied with the result. I think that especially in the first half we performed very well and we were able to get out of their pressure. The boys in the middle of the field won a lot of fights and we were able to come from the regions, « Hancka uefa.com quotes.

The goals were given by Marcus Thuram and Lauraro Martínez, who was declared a man of the match.

And Piotr Zieliński was 2-0 to miss a penalty, goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther shot his shot.

« Feyenoord will have to show a miracle in Milan if he wants to get to the Champions League quarterfinals. The Serie A leaders are not a shiny car from the Ferrari factory, but an armored 400 hp engine that is unstoppable on the road, » described Marcel Van der Kraan from De TELEGRAF.

« Feyenoord sees the upcoming end of the European adventure. The undisturbed Inter is too strong in the Champions League, » Kraan added.

The Dutch team was better, more active at the beginning, dominated the ball, but the first half of the first half.

Hancko once again joined the captain's tape and was traditionally supported by the defensive leader. He had some good defensive interventions, but he wasn't enough for everything. He also had bad luck.

Inter did not collect again

He blocked a dangerous shot before the second goal, but Inter immediately scored. Even the Slovak hitchhiker did not escape at the beginning of the match a mistake that the opponent has not yet punished.

In the second half he could also score a goal, but his attempt headed next to his head.

The Sofascore specialized server gave him a low mark on his ratios: 6.2. His passing of passes was 87 percent. Of the five fights he won two.

Inter has kept a clean account for eight times this season this season.

“It was a real Italian team, they were very good in defending. In the Champions League they only scored one goal, you could see that today, ”Hancko described after the match according to Voetbal International.

Hancko: You never know

Only Bayer Leverkusen managed to score against Inter this season of the Champions League season, another chance will get Feyenoord next Tuesday.

« We're going to fight in a retaliation match, » Hancko doesn't give up. « You never know in football. You will succeed in two standard situations and suddenly everything is different, » the Slovak continued.

The club from Rotterdam faces a huge sick leave, up to eleven players are out of the game. Feyenoord has a team full of young people with an average of 24 years, Inter is five years older in this statistic.

Feyenoord has the status of a large European club, has a rich history. He won the Dutch league 16 times, and in 1970 he also triumphed in the Cup of European Champions (PEM), which was the predecessor of the world's most lucrative competition. But that was a long time ago.

Wouldn't stop a penny

He got to the eight -final of the Champions League (establishment in 1992) only for the first time in history.

Feyenoord can only become a fourth team in history that will eliminate both Milan teams in one season of the European Cups. He passed across AC, but it doesn't look like the interior of Inter.

The former player of Feyenoord and the Dutch national team Pierre van Hooijdonk for Ziggo Sport claimed:

« Everything is possible in football, but I have to be honest and say that I wouldn't even have a penny on Feyenoord. »

Van Persie laughed

The new Feyenoord coach does not give up. “We are still in the game and we are going to Milan full of faith. Why not? We had a chance and we could score goals, ”said coach Robin Van Persie. The legendary football player took over Feyenoord only a few days ago.

After the match, he asked a hard journalist at a press conference who did not spare his team. He couldn't wait to receive a question from Valentijna Driessen from De Telegraaf.

« Valentine, one more question? » He was looking for Persie. Then the journalist got a microphone and the coach was very happy about it. He said with a laugh, « Happiness! Here is, here. Hey valentine!. I enjoy this. ”

Driessen said what he thinks, « What would you like to answer? This is of course the end of the story, you know it yourself. » Van Persie made it even more. Driessen, however, has not yet ended: « Dutch clubs have nothing to look for at this stage of the Champions League. »

The journalist did not only mean the loss of Feyenoord, but especially the debacle of PSV Eindhoven against Arsenal (1: 7, record loss of the Dutch club in Europe) the day before.
