Dessers Cyriel
After the final whistle, which saw Feyenoord advance to the Conference League semi-finals, Cyriel Dessers was a happy man. Frustrated last week not to start the match, this time he scored twice (2nd and 59th) once morest Sparta Prague and proved that his coach Arne Slot might count on him.
“Things can go just as fast in football,” Dessers told ESPN NL. “It’s good too.”
The Rotterdam club will play a prestigious double confrontation once morest Olympique de Marseille. His career in Europe is already a success. “We started this season with an away match once morest FC Drita. Probably nobody thought then that we would go to the semi-finals. Now we are playing in the semi-finals once morest Olympique de Marseille. It will be great matches.”
Dessers and Feyenoord were in any case able to count on the support of the supporters. The striker was warmly applauded. “It’s nice to hear, but they also supported us very well. I can score more than that (…) I always have to show it.”
Dessers scored both goals with his left leg. “I saw their left-back getting closer on the first goal. That’s why I quickly shot from the left. At 1-2 I stayed calm. It may have looked easy, but I don’t think so. that it was.”
