Super League giant Fenerbahçe and former Feyenoord player Dirk Kuyt commented on the matchup between the two teams in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round.
"THE PEOPLE WERE CELEBRATING"
Kuyt stated, "Fenerbahçe and Feyenoord are true people's clubs. Their fans make a difference. When we beat Galatasaray while I was at Fenerbahçe, the people were celebrating. Thousands of people flooded the streets. The horns of the cars were nonstop."
"THEY COULDN'T BECOME CHAMPIONS"
The Dutchman also added, "The club had been longing for the championship for years, and we made that dream come true. Whenever I go to Istanbul, people are still talking about it. They haven't been able to become champions since then."
"FEYENOORD WILL PASS THE ROUND!"
Evaluating the matchup between Fenerbahçe and Feyenoord, Kuyt said, "Actually, it's better to start with a small draw at this time, but two tough opponents will face each other right from the first round. Feyenoord is very strong at home. Feyenoord will win. I go to De Kuip often. Robin van Persie has made a good start as a coach. I hope he can maintain that. The fans will give full support. That will make a difference. Feyenoord will win in the Netherlands, and the match in Istanbul will end in a draw."
